Hyperloop Transportation Technologies pods

Hyperloop Transportation Technologies wants to make the travel from Cleveland to Chicago in less than 30 minutes.

Hyperloop Transportation Technologies has permission from state officials to move forward to study Chicago-Cleveland route for high-speed pods.

Hyperloop system would levitate passenger pods shuttled over 300 miles, through near-vacuum tubes, at around 700 mph (1,126 km/h) to cover the distance in less than 30 minutes.
