The capsule will also be 9 feet (2.7 meters) across and weigh 20 tons, with a passenger capacity of 28 to 40 people. If this is all sounding rather ordinary, there’s still one key spec that makes it more revolutionary, which is its top speed of 760 miles per hour (1,223 kph).

That’s Mach 1. Mach 1 is 1,225 kph.

HTT says one of the capsules would be able to leave a departure station as frequently as every 40 seconds,

Now that’s the key. The key to successful public transport is short gap between vehicles. Train networks can be made to carry much more people if the time between trains is reduced to 40 seconds.

But everybody tries to get on the first one and so the second one is near empty…

>>That’s Mach 1. Mach 1 is 1,225 kph.

A smash would be spectacular.
Journalists have wet dreams about incidents like that.

We’ll have to wait for Sebeen to cross the border before we’ll know what he thinks about it all.

Well they’ve built a non-functional mockup of a pod so they are practically finished.

Having 20 tonne vehicles travelling at 1223 kph with a separation of 40 secs sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

I’m not a rail safety expert of course, but then neither is Elon Musk.
