A SHORT JOURNEY

In the near future, Hyperloop has an aboveground network similar to that of today's subways, with relatively frequent stops and moderate travel distances.

This route map shows a Hyperloop line in the U.K. connecting Glasgow to Cardiff.

This continuous mass-transit service requires no advance booking.

The early Hyperloop pod resembles a modern subway car,

with inward-facing bench seating and grab bars.

A ride in this pod feels like a subway ride, over much longer distances but with comparable travel times.
