The people who live in metropolitan cities only know what the traffic problem is. Spending a huge amount of time only traveling every day and getting stuck in traffic jams is irritating. Instead of 3 hours, if we can spend just 25 minutes traveling every day to reach our destination, wouldn’t that be nice? Even to imagine, it feels amazing right? Yes, you read it right. When there is a huge progress in technology, nothing can be impossible. Now you can travel from Mumbai to Pune in just 25 minutes with hyperloop technology.
Hyperloop Technology
In order to assess the chances of implementing Hyperloop transportation system between Mumbai and Pune, the Maharashtra government has entered into partnership with Virgin Hyperloop. And a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed with Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA).

If this happens, the journey time of Mumbai-Pune will reduce to 25 minutes from 3 hours by car.
The company said in a statement that it could look at connecting Nagpur, which is in the easternmost part of Maharashtra, with Mumbai and Pune to vastly improve passenger and freight transportation.

Hyperloop is a mode of transportation in which commuters travel through pods in a sealed pipe and the speed could reach 1200 km/hr. The speed that hyperloop technology can deliver is the speed which is two to three times faster than high-speed rail. For example, it takes 20 minutes to travel 300-km commute.
“A hyperloop route requires high-density traffic to become viable as a means of rapid public transit. Mumbai and Pune, the most and seventh most populous cities in India respectively, have the potential to provide an optimal route with a high density. By reducing travel time to under 20 minutes, a hyperloop route will help intensify the connectivity between the metropolitan regions of Pune and Mumbai, transforming the two cities into India’s first and largest megapolis.”, said CM Devendra Fadnavis.
The good news is that Bengaluru-Chennai may also be connected with hyperloop. If this happens, you can travel 350 km in just 25 minutes.
