- tinco 13y agoBill Gates has more important things to spend his money on than moving rich americans from somewhere in America to somewhere else in America.
- ibudiallo 13y agoI live in los angeles and the proposed price is cheaper than taking a cab from the LAX to my place (4 miles). So no, this is not to help rich americans.
- tinco 13y agoI think anyone who pays money to be transported from one place to another at high speed is too rich to be cared for by Bill Gates, from his perspective :)
- mcintyre1994 13y agoIn fairness, compared to the people he helps with his philanthropic work at the moment I'd hypothesise those this will affect are fairly "rich".
- NoPiece 13y agoThere is a private bus service the runs between LA and SF for $40, which is probably less than the cab fare to the airport, or what a high speed rail ticket will end up costing. http://www.lowfarebus.com/ http://www.lowfarebus.com/

- mattermill 13y agoWhat about a $40 round trip ticket implies that those of us in LA County or the Bay Area are rich?
- dojomouse 13y agoActually Bill Gates is on record saying that if he had 'one wish' it would be for an awesome low emissions energy source. When you consider the growth in air travel, and the fuel options for air travel, the Hyperloop IS effectively a low emission energy source. I suspect he's more than interested.
