Frankly, the tunnels are the least of the problems. The infrastructure to run the whole thing is. Well, minus the absolutely pathetic (and I'm talking orders of magnitude here) throughput. It's to the point that even if implementation was free it would still cost more in a year than trains would to do the same thing.

Hyperloops, under all current proposed conditions, are worse period.

Don't forget that explosive decompression of the tube would send a shockwave down the line and wreck anything in it, living or inanimate cargo.

There's a reason NASA uses THICC Steel + Concrete to create 'Artificial Vacuums' here on earth.

The material that these nit-wits who propose Hyperloop to be made out of is far from practical or long lasting.
