Forget bullet trains, Elon Musk’s Hyperloop could become the fastest way to travel at over 1 200km/h

Briefly News reported that Elon Musk and Richard Branson's Hyperloop technology is ready to change the way travel and cargo is moved from city to city.

In basic terms, the Hyperloop is an electrically propelled pod that transports people or cargo through sealed and partially evacuated tubes. Musks' idea is that these tubes are connected between cities that aren't too far away from each other and transport can take place at very high speeds due to propulsion systems.

It will totally revolutionise travel between cities and Musk says a ride from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 45 minutes will cost around $100 or R1500.
