This isn’t a full article, but an open question for research purposes for a future article. I just want to see what people think here. Will repost for the morning crowd.

Keep flying passengers and cargo? I doubt ‘Hyperloop’ will be the end all solution to commercial long distance air travel.

Airlines could return to the glory days of flying, being luxurious experiences that costs many $$$$ or in my case ££££
BmanUltima's car still hasn't been fixed yet, he'll get on it tomorrow, honest.

Nothing?
Now trains might be in for some unexpected competition.

Trains are nearly dead in North America unless they’re doing something interesting.
There would still be international flights, too.
I wish they'd go back to zeppelins. I love those.

Nothing. Assuming it does get built and can make an economic case for itself (something I highly doubt, look at maglevs to see why) I don’t see how airlines would really be affected. Even if the hyperloop can beat the airlines for travel time, I don’t see how they can beat them of price which in the end is why short haul flights are so popular.

If you mean the loop planned for California, it may impact shuttle routes between southern califirnia and SFO, but I doubt it will kill them off all together. If it makes t to the east coast I think it would take over for Amtrak and it may take some share from the carriers, but only in point to point markets. People trying to get to hubs for trans cons and international would likely fly.

I would take hyperloop over airlines. Surely it would be cheaper. Planes are just so inefficient time wise I would never consider them.

It may be cheaper and it may not be. Fingers crossed. Also, don't assume you won't have to go through the same type of security screenings for the loop as you would for an airliner. A vehicle traveling at 700 MPH on the ground would be at as much risk from explosives as an airliner.

I wouldn't hold out for it happening. The US government makes it hard to buy land for this sort of thing from people.

It’s also harder to hijack and train and use it to ram into a building...so probably still security, but not like at the airports.

True, but there is a good chance they will go with similar processes anyway. It would also depend on how many people they put in each car.
I'm not saying that is the way I want hints to go, but it is a likely outcome.

Nothing.
I love how all the supporters just gloss over the massive amount or property that would have to be purchased and the payments to land owners for diminished views. In order to not impede local traffic it would have to be raised and now you have an even greater visual blight.
The one that sticks out most to me is how dead straight the tunnel would have to be. piers settle and sink, mid-day heat makes metal expand, so how are expansion joints going to be integrated? is every pier going to have a vertical and horizontal adjustment to ensure the tunnel stays straight?

not to mention that there is also a flaw in the calculations of how many people it can carry over a set period of time. The whole thing rests on moving large numbers of people quickly.

The whole thing I think will be like Concorde. Cool, innovative but extremely expensive.
