Virgin Hyperloop One Goes On Tour

Los Angeles-based Virgin Hyperloop One is looking to drum up interest from local governments for its technology, and interest of the public, through a road show of its pods across the country, the company said this week. According to Virgin Hyperloop One, it visited Columbus, Ohio, and is stopping in Arlington, Texas; and Kansas City, Kansas, as part of a tour which it says will "showcase the unique technology to elected, local officials and the general public." The high tech transportation technology developer says it wants to convince local offices and the public of "the ways that it could bolster regional economies and amplify regional travel." The company says the tour includes a look at its XP-1 "hyperloop pod". The company claims that "the American people" will be riding its "new form of transportation" within a decade. Virgin Hyperloop One's CEO is Jay Walder; the road show is currently in Arlington, Texas.
