Billionaire Elon Musk said via his account in Twitter that received oral approval to implement its plan to construct an underground branch of the closed high-speed Hyperloop transport system between new York and Washington. EN route between destinations high-speed capsule system will make a stop in Philadelphia and Baltimore. Because of this people will be able to navigate between new York and Washington in just 29 minutes.
“Just received a verbal approval for a Boring Company for the construction of underground lines Hyperloop new York-Philadelphia-Baltimore-Washington. From new York to Washington in just 29 minutes,” wrote Musk to his readers.
“The city centre is the city centre. With a dozen or more underground entrances and exits in every town,” added Elon.
It should be understood that oral approval does not mean virtually nothing. At least at the bureaucratic West, where all the demands of officialdom and the signing of real agreements between the parties. Most likely, the Mask will still have to solve some issues with regulators.
The billionaire also not told exactly who gave him this permission, and didn’t shared details about when will begin the implementation of this project and when it is completed. However, Musk is still in response to a question from his readers about whether the planned construction of the Hyperloop in Texas, responded positively.
“Maybe Hyperloop for Texas? Dallas-Houston-San Antonio-Austin,” asked one reader.
“Why not? The first set of tunnels will reduce the burden on the urban streets of Los Angeles. In parallel we will start the construction of the line new York-Washington. And then maybe connect a line to Los Angeles and San Francisco with Texas,” — said Musk.
Recently Boring Company (a newly formed company Mask, digging tunnels) paved the first section of the Hyperloop system under Los Angeles. Therefore, such interest from other States is quite obvious.
Also, it is clear that the plans Mask in relation to the Hyperloop does not end there and he would like to line this transport system appeared all over the world. And interestingly, the other parties of such desire are also available. By 2021 it is planned using the Hyperloop to unite major European cities, as well as to implement the project of high-speed transport system in Dubai (UAE).
Given the speed at which the system promises to produce transportation, minimal impact on the environment and the relatively low cost of implementation, Hyperloop really looks a very promising project for creation of transport infrastructure of the future.
