Because the gap between current capacity, and required capacity is bit more than worth risking money. There are in short variables we yet not know, which will come in force when such a project is undertaken. Personally I would have taken the leap, if given the choice, but if people are not investing in Hyperloop, than it is mainly because they are playing safe. The only reason besides that, which pokes me in the face, to not fund this is: economics for the common man. If the case of current trains not being built to full capacity (i.e we can do 400 kmph in Bullet trains, yet in developing countries, avaerage speed is 100kmph)is proof enough, the point can be taken from the concept itself. What is more convincing then the design is the "5th dimension of transport" thing. But where does that 5th dimension exists? A living example is in Delhi at the moment. Metro just entered Phase 3, yet the stress on Delhi's transportation system has become so large, that even with record ridership, Metro is not being able to ease that pressure. The government is going for efficiency by modernising its bus fleet into BRT corridors, still it is a temporary fix. How can we solve this? Its not the possibility that matters here only, but the individual need and economics.
