It might come down to cost. If the ticket is significantly cheaper, then people will opt for it. Perhaps they could run them along railroad tracks or existing roads to save on costs? There is also the possibility that it be used for freight only.Musk has said that for cities less than 900 miles apart, the hyperloop would be faster and cheaper than air travel and better than existing trains in just about every way. It would travel at just under the speed of sound, for passenger comfort and safety.
