World Subway Map Shows What a Hyperloop-Powered Future May Look Like

The vacuum-sealed hyperloop train system came one step closer to reality last week, when a company working on bringing the transit system to life announced the next step in a global competition. Los Angeles-based Hyperloop One has selected 35 teams as finalists in its global challenge, who will now present regional proposals at three different showcases starting next month.
 
“It’s more than just a train, or a pod in a tube,” Josh Giegel, Hyperloop One’s president of engineering, told Inverse. “We’re taking it to a level of connectivity and really being the high-speed backbone of the future transportation network.”
 
The current plan is to bring three routes into production over the next five years. Hyperloop One wants to connect cities in individual regions, and eventually, connect those regions to each other to make a giant network.
