Well, there could be a niche, upscale market for getting from SF to LA in 30 minutes, like people going for meetings and coming back on the same day. Other modes of transportation takes just too long for that kind of use case. I don't think this was ever thought of as a transportation option for people who commute to work every day because they can't afford to live in the center of those cities. Hyperloop, if it's ever built and works, will probably be the Concorde of ground transportation, in terms of market share and price. Although if we look at the outcome of Concorde, it may not make a lot of sense to follow that path.
