But its suppose to be somewhat decentralized, shooting single streams of bullets.
And if they don't fuck up, it will still shoot transport bullets with cargo containers.
Its basically high speed rail, except that if tech works as intended, its cheaper in the long run. Where the cost saving is spent on decentralizing the bullets to increase troughput and allow more stations.
The main problem is basically that is still unproven tech in the alpha test phase, where one of the intended process goals is to buy out any tech firms that make patent but fail to make money(hence bankrupt).
Pitfalls:
1. 0.1 bar or 0.05bar is proven tech. But steel tubes costs a lot
2. Competes against high speed rail, already established tech
3. Potential buyers are nations/rail networks that did not upgrade to high speed rail. And shares all problems with high speed rail, including establishing cost
4. Decentralized systems are always a special kind of nightmare
5. Rail is marked by the conflicted views of passangers and transport of goods. Which means its a special kind of retarded marked to even aim for
6. Rails still need to be elevated or buried.
7. Another 5-20 years before its even going to hit the marked
