Hyperloop One Planning Major Helsinki-Stockholm Project

Hyperloop One announced today along with research partners FS links and KPMG the results of their first study of a full-scale Hyperloop system, reports Yahoo Finance. The proposed 500 kilometer Hyperloop system would link the metro areas and airports of Helsinki and Stockholm and passengers or freight could make the trip between capitals in 28 minutes, a fraction of the current 3.5 hour flight or overnight ferry. The study found the value of time saved by the proposed project would be 321 million Euros per year. The potential revenue generated by the system is estimated to be 1 billion Euros annually with an operating profit of 800 million Euros per year. These projections are based on a forecast of 43 million passenger trips each year.
