    Hyperloop or high-speed rail: Which will whoosh through Texas first?

    North Texas planners are getting serious about deploying a technology known as Hyperloopthat promises to whisk riders from Dallas to Fort Worth in only six minutes — traveling in a giant tube in a futuristic system that, if successful, could redefine intercity transportation. But those same Metroplex planners also are pursuing plans for building high-speed rail plans (similar to systems used in Europe and Asia) in the same corridors connecting Fort Worth, Arlington and Dallas

    Hyperloop or high-speed rail? Developer counts the benefits

    One of the studies that the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission announced this week will look at the environmental impact of a proposed hyperloop route through Columbus. "We're very confident that what the (environmental) study will wind up showing is the environmental impacts of hyperloop will be much less than other modes of transportation, like rail," said Hyperloop One's Dan Katz, head of North American projects. Of course, it's his job to say that, but here are his rea
