Hyperloop One to Shut Down After Failing to Reinvent Transit::The company is selling assets, laying off remaining employees.
Keeping a vacuum in a big area is extremely inefficient and energy costly, because it is impossible not to have leaks.
A tube for 6-8 people doesn’t come close to the capacity of a train.

Hyperloop is basically a fancy looking but worse train in about every aspect.
Except it would be 10 x faster. Bit fair enough
