>>1115208>Good luck buying the right of way for a dedicated HSR line.you would have the exact same problem with your hyperlube
you still have to have a line. and before you say bury it, realize that that's obscenely expensive
also, depending on the area, if there's an aquifer or if there's any other special environmental concerns, no tunneling will be allowed
you still have to have right of way, even underground, but there's more shit to deal with
do you think an oil company with a big lease is gonna let you drill underneath them? fuck no
>below 150 serviced by buswrong as fuck, buses have to deal with traffic and shit roads just like cars
show me a bus that can get down i10 at a busy time of day at a halfway decent speed
>above 150 serviced by airlineswhich involves waiting an hour to go through the tsa and is still pricy
>hype loop will work if they can drive tunneling costs down>no need to buy right of wayyeah, because you can just start tunneling under someone's land without securing permission
and tunneling may get a bit cheaper, but its never be cheap, ever, because requires moving so much material
also, the environmental impact studies that have to be done for underground stuff go way beyond whats needed above ground
long story short, you are a fucking retard
