Billionaire Ilon Mask announced through his Twitter page that he received verbal approval for the implementation of his plan to build an underground branch of the high-speed closed transport system Hyperloop between New York and Washington. On the way between destinations, high-speed capsules of the system will make a stop in Philadelphia and Baltimore. Thanks to this, people will be able to move between New York and Washington in just 29 minutes.
“I just received verbal approval for the Boring Company to build the underground line Hyperloop New York-Philadelphia-Baltimore-Washington. From New York to Washington in just 29 minutes, ”Musk wrote to his readers.
“The city center is the city center. With a dozen or even more underground entries and exits in each city, ”Ilon added.
It should, however, be understood that verbal approval means virtually nothing. At least in the bureaucratic West, where everything requires official and the signing of real agreements between the parties. Most likely, the Mask will still have to resolve some issues with the regulatory authorities.
The billionaire also did not tell who exactly gave him such permission, nor did he share the details about when the implementation of this project would begin and when it would be completed. However, Musk, in response to a question from a reader about whether Hyperloop is planned to be built in Texas, answered positively.
“Maybe Hyperloop for Texas? Dallas-Houston-San Antonio-Austin, ”one of the readers asked.
"Why not? The first set of tunnels will reduce the load on the city streets of Los Angeles. In parallel, we will begin construction of the New York-Washington line. And then, perhaps, connect the line of Los Angeles and San Francisco with Texas, ”said Musk.
More recently, the Boring Company (the newly formed Mask, a company engaged in digging tunnels), laid the first section of the Hyperloop system near Los Angeles. Therefore, such interest of other states is quite obvious.
It also becomes obvious that Mask’s plans for Hyperloop do not end there, and he would like the lines of this transport system to appear throughout the world. And interestingly, other parties have such desires too. By 2021, it is planned to unite large European cities with the help of Hyperloop, as well as to implement a high-speed transport system project in Dubai (UAE).
Given the speed with which the system promises to make transportation, the minimum impact on the environment and the relatively low cost of implementation, Hyperloop really looks like a very promising project to create the transportation infrastructure of the future.
