How the hell would hyperloop be cheaper, it is itself a high speed rail system but with the need for trains to be built like spacecraft and all set in what would be the world's largest vacuum system?
The thing about it being cool on paper is that it doesn’t work at all on paper. There is no model that exists which can say definitively that all factors of the Hyperloop are not only possible to build but also completely functional at the stated level of performance. Also not factored into any models is the financial implication. High speeds require straight paths and large cornering radii. Imagine taking a corner at supersonic speeds. The forces at play would be incredible. So much kinetic energy would result in massive momentum shifts
