As promised, the billionaire Elon Musk has announced some details, although by his own admission they’re in alpha stage, of the project Hyperloop, a new transport system able to carry passengers at speeds that can reach more than 1,100 km/h (more than 700 mph) at costs much lower than those of high-speed trains and a very low ticket cost.
