Passengers would sit inside the capsules and travel at speeds of up to 760mph while floating on a cushion of air. The proposed route would see the Hyperloop being implemented between Los Angeles and San Francisco, theoretically allowing transit between the two cities in as little as 30 minutes.The flagship system would cost around $6bn and stretch over 380 miles.
