They will likely put an escape hatch on the pod itself and also escape hatches along the tube in regular periodic increments.Yeah those hyperloop designs always weird me out. What happens if they break down or something goes wrong - how do they get you out of there?
The Indian flag is a gorgeous thing. Surely they would have thought of all possible danger scenarios. Come on guys.
Bullet train = cutting lots of trees.
I know, some are stuck below ground in tubes aka tunnels.You know most railroads aren't stuck in an elevated tube, right?
No because if something goes wrong on a plane, I assume I'll be dead. lolDo you ask yourself these questions when you fly in a plane over the ocean? lol
A subway tunnel and this enclosed tube are completely different...How do you get out of a subway train? You get out, walk down the track to an entry point in the tunnel..
Yeah those hyperloop designs always weird me out. What happens if they break down or something goes wrong - how do they get you out of there?
Is this a photoshop? There's some weird pink thing towards the front of the train, on the roof lol.Yeah it's much more dangerous than the current public transport in India
Weren't people clamoring for this shit in California when Elon Musk wanted to build one? Now it's actually getting done somewhere and it "doesn't serve a function"?
I'm not travelling 200 mph in an elevated bullet train.There aren't a lot of trees from Pune to Mumbai. And you can elevate a train like a hyperloop also. This is just a terrible idea. Can we please stop with this loop thing?
They have to do maintenance, right? There are probably hatches or doors every certain number of sections, along with walkways or corridors within where workers can perform upkeep.
Is this a photoshop? There's some weird pink thing towards the front of the train, on the roof lol.
Oh no, I know the rest of the photo is real.It's not, but these are free service trains to run on special occasion and goes very slow.
But if you want to read about Indian train running over festival people, there are a few news.
Sure, but you'd want the hatch(es) in the tube to be open before you open those in the pod tho.They will likely put an escape hatch on the pod itself and also escape hatches along the tube in regular periodic increments.
Welp we are probably both haunted now, I should not have looked into its eyes.Is this a photoshop? There's some weird pink thing towards the front of the train, on the roof lol.
I would suggest they would eliminate the vacuum issue if they needed to get people out of there.
You mean it is a bit like the London underground.Why are people trying to compare this to a subway tunnel? Looking at where the car would sit, it looks like maybe there are a few inches to maybe a foot around it to the walls of the tube. I still don't see how you get out of the car.
Is the London underground train in an enclosed vacuum tube that goes hundreds of miles while enclosed? There is still no comparison to these hyperloop systems.
Those things move super slowly, btw. In a hyperloop you are sending people in a closed tube at super high speeds. Instead of wasting money on that, maybe, I dunno, built more actual trains and bus lines?Yeah it's much more dangerous than the current public transport in India

There clearly is if you look at the tube.I would hope there's a openable section every X number of metres.
Wut? Japan's bullet train is on a completely open air rail system. It's not in a tight vacuum sealed tube. People largely aren't afraid of the train itself - they're afraid of getting stuck in a tube.How often do u read about Japan's bullettrains going off? Strange how the first x number of posts are about deaths etc. I'd be excited to check this out if I'm ever in town and it's live. Asian countries and India seems to be the future.
Is already bee stated that the can change the pressure in the tube.....why do you keep bring that up? This tech is being worked on all across the world by many different people I'm going to guess they're trying to make it as safe as possible.Wut?

I'm not trying to state that the vacuum is the issue. More the tube's close proximity to the train. Japan's bullet train is a completely open system. It's in no way comparable to this.Is already bee stated that the can change the pressure in the tube.....why do you keep bring that up?
Virgin + Elon Musk + Indian build quality???

I hope somebody use the remains to film The Running Man 2.
I would assume that if you need to evacuate the tube can be repressurized. Then it is more or less the same to evacuate.Is the London underground train in an enclosed vacuum tube that goes hundreds of miles while enclosed? There is still no comparison to these hyperloop systems.
I'd assume a safety system would eliminate the vacuum upon a pod getting stuck.Sure, but you'd want the hatch(es) in the tube to be open before you open those in the pod tho.
If you do the pod first without first letting air into the tube, you'd open it into a vacuum. You'd be dead within a minute.
lol This is another thing people aren't factoring in. India is a nation with zero safety standards, and that almost goes out of its way to be as unsafe on everything as possible.That's certainly the Indian way of thinking.
Best place to test this thing really. People die, accidents happen and no one sues anyone and there are no payouts except the government handing out a measly sum. India does not have much of an infrastructure for emergency/rescue services either. If something goes wrong inside one of those pipe like tunnels it's over.
This, so much. This will never be built and will just be a waste of money and time, when good ol' high speed rail exists in many countries, has been proven to be reliable and profitable, and there are so many different contractors and rolling stock providers with legit prices and deliveries.
The tubes proximity to the pod is the least of the issues. Exits would be at the front or back.I'm not trying to state that the vacuum is the issue. More the tube's close proximity to the train. Japan's bullet train is a completely open system. It's in no way comparable to this.
You're all talking about this as if metros and subways don't exist.

I shouldn't be surprised this gets any traction at all. Municipal governments can be unbelievably stupid.
It's faster than a plane. Hyperloop has a theoretical max speed of around 800mph. Obviously it's a huge infrastructure rollout, however, the convenience of a train coupled with the speed of travel that exceeds air cannot be understated. If it is actually successful it could revolutionize interstate or intercity travel, one could live a 10 hour drive from their job and it would be a standard commute.

We'll have to wait until the systems are actually up and running I guess. I imagine for safety and logistics that they'd run in the range of 300-500mph.mmm, theoretical maximums are nice, but what's the actual top speed?
