The future of fast travel
On 8 November, Hyperloop One signed an agreement with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) to explore high-speed routes in the United Arab Emirates “to figure out where and how to build what would likely be a hybrid passenger-freight system in Emirates.”
In other words, it’s going to work out how to turn the theory of Hyperloop into a reality.
“Dubai makes perfect sense for Hyperloop One because this is the 21st century's global transport hub and its leaders understand that Hyperloop One is ushering in the next era of transportation,” said Shervin Pishevar, Executive Chairman.
What is it?
Hyperloop One is exploring the idea first floated by SpaceX founder Elon Musk. This is what Hyperloop One thinks its revolutionary transportation system will look like:

In the future, Hyperloop One passengers would board a capsule that travels through giant tubes at 1,200kmph, using electric propulsion.
