Hyperloop Vs. High-Speed Trains When it comes to high-speed transportation the United States falls short compared to the rest of the world. Currently in California there is a need for a mode of transportation that can get passengers around quickly and at a reasonable cost. The ideal mode of transportation to solve the problem would be either a high-speed train or a Hyperloop system. Given the manufacturability‚ increased efficiency‚ and reduced costs of the Hyperloop it would be the right choice
