Make no mistake. The hyperloop concept was put forward when California came close to building public transport infrastructure. It was intended to provide arguments against by putting into question if large investments in rail really is future proof. It could be aruged that it is indefensible to build rails at great cost if we might get flying trains tomorrow. And it did indeed work out as intended, at almost no cost.
