    Yeah, what happened to transit pneumatic tubes? I feel like hyperloop was supposed to be close to that, but that never happened.

    Make it an attraction, I’ll ride it.

      The Hyperloop was very successful, it prevented billions of dollars of investment in mass transit, then evaporated before it could reduce the market for cars.

      Pressure failures is what happened to transit tubes. Usually with grisly results.

        “grisly results”. Are you sure? I think the pressure failure of the Titan submarine was closer to “grisly”. Transit tube failure scores lower on the pressure failure scale. /jk
