Maybe they'll put a station near Madison Cube Garden.

Did Hot Wheels toy cars come with a Hyperloop ?
I have a feeling this will end up like the Moller Skycar. I’m still waiting for that...
This sounds cool. I could pop into my own capsule and be jettisoned to anotehr destination at some incredible speed? How fast?
People used to ridicule those who tried to make possible aircraft and spaceflight. Now we take them for granted.
Other bits of mockery from the past 100 years:
* One telephone line in an office is enough, who’d ever need a phone on every desk?
* Only managers need to use email. If everyone has email they’ll just spend their whole day writing to friends.
* Who’d ever need more than 1MB of storage on a computer?
* No one will ever break the sound barrier.
* A bridge across the Golden Gate is a pipe dream.
And etc.
Maybe this idea will never come to fruition. Maybe it will replace regional air travel and obviate the push for high speed rail. In any case, the mockery of an entrepreneur who’s paying out of his own pocket to develop a technology he’s giving away to anyone who wants it is misplaced.
Oh, and in before the near-mandatory post of ‘boondoggle’.
So pneumatic tubes for people... wow, I’m glad this genius was around to think of this very very old idea... don’t think there is a 3 year old alive who’s seen a pneumatic tube system who hasn’t thought about wanting to be able to ride in them.
Musk is an innovator?
More like a government subsidy leach.
