"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.

In reality, there will be high operating expenses as well, which would also need to be reflected in ticket prices.
