  • - in Europe - the first railways had been built - in the middle of the 19th century !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

_________________________________________
  • - at first they were private - when the high hopes - did not came true !

 

 

 

 

 

_________________________________________

  • - the states were forced - to make the railways - public !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

_________________________________________

  • - we should make it better - and look at the public goals - that should be achieved !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

_________________________________________

  • - maybe for the Hyperloop - it is a combination of both - or 50% public ownership !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

_________________________________________

  • - because some possible routes - like motor-highways - railways - are state-owned !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

_________________________________________

  • - this transportation system is a public good - and should be at least partly managed - as one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

_________________________________________

  • - different systems should be developed - to see what Hyperloop systems - are better ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

_________________________________________

  • - it is mainly long-distance traffic - but needs connections - to the local traffic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

_________________________________________

  • - the energy efficiency - of the Hyperloop - is just incomprehensible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

_________________________________________

  • - because the current concepts - are very conclusive !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

_________________________________________

  • - we should consider to use these transportation system - instead of planes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

_________________________________________

  • - and some parts of the existing motor-highways - and railways - can be available to this new system !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

_________________________________________

  • - the transition from the vacuum tube - to the railway station - is a technical challenge !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • - but it is also important - how this public space - is designed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

_________________________________________

  • - to become visited with pleasure - with enough space - and Internet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

_________________________________________

  • - it can be designed very modern - but with not too much shops !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
