Last week, the mass transportation company -- owned by Richard Branson’s Virgin Group -- released images and a concept video showing how passengers can expect to experience its new high-speed transport system.
In the video, Virgin Hyperloop shows off what its portals -- almost like futuristic train stations -- and pods -- like futuristic train cars -- will look like.
First Hyperloop Passenger Test
'A glimpse into the future': Inside Virgin Hyperloop where passengers will travel at 670mph aboard levitating pods across America. We now just need it to be built...
The idea of hurtling down a vacuum tube in a levitating pod at speeds of over 670 miles an hour may sound like the plot of the latest science fiction blockbuster, but it could soon become a reality.
Virgin Hyperloop is developing the futuristic technology, which it claims could transform the way we travel.
At the end of last year, the company demonstrated the technology in action, transporting two brave participants for the first time.
Now, the tech giant has shared a step-by-step video of the passenger experience on board its Hyperloop system, all the way from arriving at the portal, to taking off on board a hyperloop pod.
'Showing the passenger experience of Virgin Hyperloop is a glimpse of the future, following the success three months ago when people rode in a hyperloop pod for the first time,' said Sultan Bin Sulayem, Chairman of Virgin Hyperloop and Group Chairman and CEO of DP World.
'We have demonstrated the maturity of our technology. We are getting closer to commercialization of what will be the first new mass-scale transportation mode in a century.'
While this may sound pretty futuristic, it might not be long before we get to try the system ourselves, with Virgin Hyperloop aiming to offer commercial rides by 2030.

The future of travel
Seems a little ambitious—especially after watching the second video—but some unrelenting ambition is what a project like this needs, I suppose. It will be interesting to see how this technology develops over our lifetimes.
Things like this is one of the only ways will truly change the world
The ability to get anywhere quickly and without a huge environmental toll would be amazing
