According to today's houston chronicle

Going by tube at 760 miles per hour

Passengers would ride in small capsules traveling as fast as 760 miles per hour while floating on a thin cushion of air inside the tubes.

Plans are for a system between San Francisco to Los Angeles in 35 minutes.

20 foot tall pylons in the median of Interstate 5

Great idea but I think we are a long, long way away from having the technology to make it a reality.

Sounds like a good idea. But what if you're on that and the big one hits California? :thinking:

If you're on that when the big one hits, you become ketchup when you crash.

On another note, I agree it looks cool, but it may be wiser to build a prototype in a geologically sound area. Houston to El Paso would be a good run, I think.
