Mexloop Hyperloop: Proposed Hyperloop system could connect 42 million people in Mexico - TomoNews

MEXICO CITY — A new Hyperloop system being proposed by Mexican consortium Mexloop could reduce traveling time between Mexico City and Guadalajara to 38 minutes. Mexloop’s design is one of the 10 winners of the Hyperloop One Global Challenge, Inhabitat reported. The Hyperloop would connect 42 million people in four major cities in Central Mexico: Mexico City, Querétaro, León and Guadalajara. The proposed system would stretch 330 miles, and would take about 38 minutes the travel the entire route. Stations would be located close to airports, rail freight hubs and train stations in order to maximize transportation infrastructure efficiency, according to Hyperloop One. Mexloop says the Hyperloop would help the economy as well as ease traffic congestion. According to Mexloop, a Hyperloop system would only be two thirds of the cost of a high speed rail system.
