Since Musk said that it was a people transportation concept everyone immediately jumped on that bandwagon. The hyperloop could be a concept that disrupts the cargo train market. I could see GE taking a look at this concept with the idea of improved cargo transport.


What would be the market for transporting cargo at the speed of sound, and why would anyone able to afford such a service prefer a train to a jet?


It's pitched as a better option than a bullet train so I think it's safe to assume the primary thrust is transporting people.
