My claustrophobia prevents me from ever using this stuff.

It should go 1 mile if all goes well.

Fascinating

You're in a plane all the time

That’s definitely an “I’ll believe it when I see it”. You can’t fly from Pueblo to Denver (ignoring take off and landing) in 11 minutes. Not a clue how something ground based will do that.

If it can reach speeds around what a commercial jet cruises then it could get there in about that time frame.

Still wondering about that. I know that flying from Colorado Springs to Denver is more than 11 minutes not counting take off and landing. Now perhaps if they are referring to the most northern possible point and still be considered Pueblo and the farthest southern possible point and be Denver it might be possible.

Banks already invented these decades ago.

I really liked the shinkansen in Japan and the Dutch fast trains were pretty nice too. They are building a bullet train in TX but it won't be as convenient since it is not going downtown to downtown between Houston and Dallas.

One of the most challenging aspects of any sort of mass transit development in the modern age is all the stuff that's in the way. In order to get stations in the most convenient locations, you usually have to destroy a ton of existing structures (houses, buildings, roads, etc.). Denver recently expanded tons of rail lines out into the burbs, but the stations are largely in places everyone has to drive to since they built them along existing freight rail lines.

I definitely think it’s very generous to say that short of time. It looks like the distance is about 115 miles by car. I’d assume the rail would be maybe a little less. If it goes around 550 mph the whole time it could about make that time, but there’s obviously no way it goes 0-550 in such a short time frame. Honestly seems unlikely it would ever move that fast and still have time to slow down on such a short trip.

True. Plus I would be curious to see if there is any effect on people going that speed at ground level. I know we don’t really notice it in an aircraft, but it’s also pressurized. Now it might not make any difference at all.

I'd recommend staying FAR away from airplanes, if that's the case.

Problem in their hurry, they never load your luggage

Is that why you always bang hookers because you don’t want a tight bitch?
