    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.

    During an emergency, the people in those tubes are stuck with no way to get out, unlike a train.

    Hyperloop is basically a fancy looking but worse train in about every aspect.
