Liam Mannix at The Melbourne Age reports: Get from Melbourne to Sydney overland in one hour? Hyperloop pipedreamers to pitch to senate.

My quote:

So... Does it work?

“No – I want to be very clear on that. They’ve never moved a single person a single metre on a hyperloop,” says University of Sydney transport expert Professor David Levinson.

He compared HyperloopTT’s plans to the Wright brothers trying to convince governments across the world to build airports – before they had invented a plane.
