I'm not sure where you get double from. The tickets probably won't be cheap anyways since there is only capacity for 3360 passengers per hour each way. Of cours

  From the doc (I'd probably double those cost estimate though): "Transporting 7.4 million people each way every year and amortizing the co st of $6 billion over 20 years gives a ticket price of $20 for a one - way trip for the passenger version of Hyperloop. " $20-$40 doesn't seem terribly expensive.

    That price accounts only for the capex cost of building the thing, and assumes that many of the... extremely ambitious... cost estimates in the white paper will hold up. In reality, there will be high operating expenses as well, which would also need to be reflected in ticket prices.

  For the sake of comparison, the busiest TGV line (LGV Sud-Est) is signalled for three minute headways (i.e., three minutes between the front of one train and the front of the following one), and each train can hold up to 1016 passengers — 20320 passengers per hour. (And at certain times of day, it is close to operating at that.)
