The fundamental problem is that the hyperloop track is a cascading single point of failure.
So, pretty much like highway-speed transit on highways. One breakdown, and huge stretches of highway slow to a crawl or to a halt. The same goes for the US air travel system, except it takes the weather disruption of a major hub to get the cascading failures.
