So-called Maglev trains are already in use in Europe and China for high-speed transportation. But this one, moving through the airless, frictionless environment of the tube, would glide way faster using far less energy those subjected to gravity. Airlocks at stations would allow people to get on and off the capsule without letting air into the sealed tube.
