Hyperloop is a new form of high-speed mass transportation system for both public and goods transport that will set the standard for 21^st century travel by connecting cities in minutes.It is expected to explore a potential route between Los Angeles and San Francisco, which is able to slash the eight hour bus ride, four hour train journey and convoluted three hour air experience between the two cities to just 30 minutes.This concept combines two important principles.The first is magnetic levitation, a technology used to repel the passenger pod from the track to lift it upwards and move the floating pod along the track at a considerable speed with little rolling resistance.And the second is the pod travelling in a near-vacuum environment, which enables to reduce the aerodynamic drag to the least.Under such conditions, the pod face scant resistance and can deliver the passengers between cities at supersonic speed and with little energy consumption.Like train stations,Hyperloop stations are planned to locate within inner cities with easy links to existing transport infrastructure.^[1]This gives Hyperloop system a distinct advantage over air travel,where airports tend to be located beyond city limits with fewer accessibility options.
