This 'bid' is 9% the cost of the train bid, and there is already a government budget for it. I am not from California so I am not familiar with the HSR project

I am not from California so I am not familiar with the HSR project. But this doesn't seem right to me. HSR is proven and Hyperloop is experimental. Why is it plausible that the same route for both would be cheaper on the one that is going to require more engineering and V&V?
- bryanlarsen 13y agoThis is discussed in detail in the hyperloop proposal, but I believe that the biggest factor is that the hyperloop proposal mostly runs along the I5 thus requiring much less expropriation and right of way development, and doesn't require large fences.
