The question is about density and whether that's something to pursue even if it's prosperous.
- yayana 8y agoIt's an incongruous question. Hyperloops between Basel, Bern and Zurich would make them into one virtual Mini-City. The loops would also reduce density in the travel corridors preventing a California catastrophe kind of sprawl inbetween.

The necessary tunnels for Basel would probably cost less than this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotthard_Base_Tunnel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotthard_Base_Tunnel But Bern<>Zurich is the SBB's bottleneck.
