Hyperloop vs bullet trains: Major differencesThe biggest difference between the two is that the hyperloop is 2-3x faster than bullet trains. It would also be relatively cheaper.

China is likely to build its first hyperloop train line between Shanghai and Hangzhou, according to the nation's top engineering and rail design institutes. The 150km-long (93-mile) in-vacuum tunnel will allow maglev trains to travel at speeds of up to 1,000km/h (621mph).
Safety and ComfortThe design proposed by Musk (2013) indicates hyperloop will be safer compared to other rival transport modes, such as airplanes and trains.
A harder problem: the vacuum tubeMaintaining this vacuum, about one-thousandth the pressure of Earth's atmosphere, through millions of cubic feet of volume will be a big challenge. Whenever passengers enter or exit the system, the Hyperloop has to be temporarily unsealed. Thus, stations would require interlocks.
First imagined at least 100 years ago, it would basically look like some version of those green tubes on Futurama. Imaginary no longer, it would seem. If everything goes according to plan, Hyperloop One's pods will carry humans and cargo at 760 mph — 30 percent faster than a 747 airplane.
Why are UK trains so expensive? One of the main reasons the price of train tickets keeps rising is the privatisation of rail networks, with every private company striving to make a profit.
