Countries in Europe and Asia are filled with high-speed bullet trains, bringing passengers between cities within 2.5 hours. But the hyperloop theoretically could bring passengers from city to city in less than 45 minutes, traveling at the top speed of 760 mph. The concept gained popularity in 2013 when Elon Musk wrote his Hyperloop Alpha paper. And in November 2020, Virgin Hyperloop demonstrated its first passenger test ride. Virgin Hyperloop and Hyperloop Transportation Technologies are working to bring hyperloop into a reality by 2030. Following is a transcript of the video. Narrator: This is the future of high-speed transportation. It s 3 1/2 times faster than Japan s Shinkansen bullet trains and even faster than a Boeing 747. It s a hyperloop – magnetic pods levitating inside a tube at more than 1,000 kilometers per hour. In theory, you could go from LA to San Francisco in just 45 minutes with tickets less than $100 one way. This technology could make wor ....
