A 334 km distance between Bengaluru and Chennai has been reduced to 30 minutes with the help of Elon Musk’s Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT)!

What Is It?

The  Union Ministry of Road Transport is partnering with Elon Musk’s Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT) to establish Hyperloop routes that will be faster than your bullet trains as well! A hyperloop model is a pod-like train that runs inside a vacuum-like that runs at an average speed of 1200 kmph. The travel shall be done in a friction-less environment so any kind of physical or air-related resistance has to be avoided. To give you a perspective, the Hyperloop will run at a speed of 1200 km/hour (faster than a jet aircraft), as compared to the bullet train which runs at only 300-400 km/hour!
