Amsterdam to Paris in 90 minutes? Dutch tout hyperloop as future of travel

North Holland thinks unproven 600mph magnetic hovertrain could help replace air travel

Swifter than trains, safer than cars and far less damaging to the environment than planes, the Dutch province of North Holland believes the hyperloop might be the future.

Plans are being drawn up for Amsterdam to be connected to other European cities by the futuristic high-speed mode of transportation comprising a magnetic hovertrain in an air-free tube able to travel at speeds of over 600mph due to the lack of friction and drag.
