falling asleep on that metro could cause serious problems

[@bryanhiebert1941]

You are supposed to sleep on that bullet train metro it takes days to reach destinations

[@iannicolson]

As you reach international borders, such as the border between Poland and Belarus or Russia and DPR Korea, border officials will wake you and will quite happily make sure you are off the train if you don't have documents. On Russian Railways trains, the Hostess onboard will remind you of this as well.

[@EndietheEnderman]

Would there be wifi on the trains?

[@thegoldenaircats8050]

One thing to destroy the whole idea; Tectonic plate movements.

[@maureen6239]

Ah yes the good ol' Tectonic plate

[@stillx1211]

Timer Well Guys whole Europe and Asian are already connected with normal Trains so

[@TomKellyXY]

Japanese Shinkansen (bullet trains) certainly rival domestic air travel already. In many cases, it is faster than flying if you factor in the additional time to transfer to the airport, with check-in and security procedures. Travelling by train is convenient, you don't need to book a specific departure time, there is no limit on luggage weight, and you arrive in the centre of your destination city. They don't come cheap though and tickets can be more expensive than budget airlines. Shinkansen rail lines can go between islands, such as between Kyushu and Honshu and the newly opened Hokkaido line (March last year). However, these are very expensive to build and can only be done where passenger demand is high. High speed rail uses a different gauge railways and need an entirely separate new tunnel as it cannot pass through the same tunnel as regular trains. They're also experiencing the issues with noise, their speed is restricted in urban areas due to noise (this is also why the Concorde flew over the ocean). So could high-speed be built between countries? Well, yeah if there are land borders and good diplomatic relations, China is building a bunch right now with the "One Belt One Road" modern day Silk Road ambitions. Over long stretches of ocean? Nope, not any time soon if the immense undertaking of the Seikan tunnel to Hokkaido is anything to go by (which took over 17 years to build under 23.3km of ocean floor).

[@liborkozak8938]

Chunnel train is also rival/better than airplane at Paris London route, a lot of high-speed trains are better than airplanes especially on short distances.

[@observantmagic4156]

Maglev is even faster

[@TomKellyXY]

@@observantmagic4156 True but it's not really a game changer. High speed rail is only commercially feasible in densely populated urban corridors. Shinkansen already operate well below their maximum speed due to noise concerns as the cities are too close together. This is why Japan Rail is building tunnels under the Japanese Alps for their new Maglev line between Osaka and Tokyo.

[@Austin.0712]

The tectonic plates are always moving so as time goes on the rails would fall in.

[@ChiyoBebe.]

[@Fr00stee]

John Jones thats probably enough to crack the tubes if they arent flexible

[@emil335]

@@Fr00stee no. Structures are already built to be flexible due to what is called thermal expansion. When material gets hotter or colder it expands and retracts respectively. If we apply the same building techniques to the tunnels (which we'd have to if we don't want thermal expansion to make it collapse), I don't think a few centimetres over the course of a continent is going to matter any time soon.

[@blugaledoh2669]

[@weirdeurasianboy8091]

Or the nationalist governments who would oppose these train lines because these would increase immigration by a thousandfold.

[@antiantiderivative]

Lenny Ynnel That has to be one of the most stupid comments anyone has ever made

[@ArticBlueFox96]

Reality Blown maybe it would be easier to construct a train system for each tectonic plate individually and then have connector transit between them using air travel, water travel, and possible land travel if we are okay with occasionally having to rebuild land-based connector transit. We can of course ignore the tectonic plates in the middle of the ocean. This would also make it easier for different regions around the world to still control their borders. The most difficult part would be when one country has multiple tectonic plates or when a tectonic plate has multiple countries that are not friendly with one another.

[@OzzyGT]

Not to mention Paul, the cooperation form EVERY government to fund this project and the trade deals that may need to happen for them to agree to do this. On top of that, SECURITY! How do you handle that? Do you have guards on board? If someone in Africa commits a crime inside the train, gets arrested, but the train is already crossing into Europe, what do you do with him? Place him on another train back? That means that there would guards at each station... and how well trained are said guards and to what standards? Since every country has different standards for training. Let's not even mention the fact that this probably wouldn't be a singular agency controlling the system. Would a country from Ethiopia hold up to the same standards of the agency (regarding technology available, logistics, maintenance, etc) as the standard of say, Germany?

[@davidvasey5065]

[@nuppusaurus3830]

There's one more problem nobody addressed: tectonic plates. When building a long tube between continents, you have to take into consideration that those continents are either moving away or towards each other. This wouldn't be an immediate problem, but it would require a lot of maintenance in the long run. Also earthquakes and volcanoes are pretty common in those areas, making the rails potentially dangerous.

[@Alphie-nf1lm]

The two things I love Metro Systems and Geography!

[@thatweirdcat754]

world: agrees to build a ginormous metro system* Tribes: No.

[@Paulo-py4mm]

the hyperloop is too dangerous, as the tube is a near total vaccum if the pod gets damaged in anyway during use and if the pods walls have a breach everyone in the pod would suffocate instantly.....

[@thestargateking]

Paul Aldrich aircraft are too dangerous, if there is enough damage to the walls all the air would get sucked out, and if the engines fail it falls out of the sky, boats are too dangerous because if they get a hole in it the boat can sink, taking a car is too dangerous because you might crash, staying home is too dangerous because you might have a house fire, living outside is too dangerous because you might encounter a bad person or a wild animal. Living on earth is too dangerous as it could get hit by an asteroid, again

[@rationalapeman]

dan b You have a point, but the hyperloop is basically a long tube. It definetly would have a higher chance of breach. Unless... they build it underground, which makes it less likely to get damage from the outside. (Although make construction near impossible)

[@thestargateking]

Toms Zvirbulis it only matters if the vehicle suffers a breach, and it's likely that the hyperloop train will have the same surface area of an large aircraft, also underground won't make it impossible, it would just be building a tunnel,

[@matthewwysong644]

While most underground transport would be pretty much safe, as heat doesn't change that much down there and the chance of ice damage is slim, all it takes is an earthquake and the tube crinkles like a plastic wrapper and then immediately explodes, either killing everybody in the system or causing major outages. Or both. On top of that you can't have more than one train traveling the line at a time, as that would defeat the purpose of the vacumm anytime another train leaves the station. However, if it does work then that would be pretty great.

[@pwhnckexstflajizdryvombqug9042]

Don't know if you have realised. But you can make airlocks. Every 10 kilometres, there would be a Constantly active airlock (barrier that opens when a train comes) then every 500m one that will instantly close as soon as there is a breach. Also if a tube can support a vaccum, then the whole thing won't just implode. Only the immediate 10m sections around it. The tube would be strong enough and thick enough to stop implosion and breaching. Also it wouldn't just implode in a massive squish. Blowout holes could be added that will automatically "blow out" if a breach occurs. These would allow a controlled flow of air into the tube and would stop a massive recompression. People like ThunderF00t just don't understand and judge the Hyperloop on how it currently is and not on how it will be.

Another thing I thought was messed up with Brazil when I looked closer is that there are a bunch of unnecessary connections to make, Brasília is connected to a small/medium town in Minas Gerais instead of its capital Belo Horizonte, where I guess there would be more demand to go to Brasilia, at least if there was no air traffic. Those two places in MG shouldn't be in that line in fact, since that makes it deviate from the coastline and them go back to it, instead going from Rio de Janeiro to Salvedor through Vitória in more straight path. And Ribeirão Preto is connected to Rio de Janeiro, not São Paulo, when it's actually located in São Paulo (State), and has quite significants relations with its capital, it would just make more sense for people from Ribeirão Preto to go to São Paulo and them to Rio, as it is in our current transport system, than vice-versa, specially because Rio-Ribeirão would have to pass through another State, and a slightly mountainous region, and Ribeirão-São Paulo could stop on other interesting spots in the State, such as Campinas. Also, there is a rail named after the Amazon, and it does NOT reach Brazil, another one named Pampas that reaches places like São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasília, but not the Brazilian pampa, and one running in Brazil named after the Chaco, seriously?

Barby: I LOVE TRAINS!!! me: *throws a train at him*

[@valentyn1992]

comment on 01:58 thing. There are still trains going from Ukraine to Russia. And from Moldova to Russia through Ukraine. Just sayin'. Hi from Kiev

[@fachriecaf]

"-so with all those to be considered, unfortunately it'll will stay in just our imagination. But only if we include all those that makes thing to be considered. So what if we change that a little bit? Say like we remove the time consuming? Maybe a teleportation station? And how will it affect our life? Well, thats sounds like for another, what if".

[@kp3wombat]

A vac train can be used as well and the good thing about that is that it uses regular rails so at either end it could connect with regular rail lines.

[@alffbooks]

So Interesting to watch this!

[@user-zi8ht1fi6c]

Hyperloop on the ocean floor woudn't work since it needs vacuum and building vacuum tubes on the ocean floor where the pressure from the outside is even greater than on the surface would be...impossible. Regular train tube with regular surface air pressure on the oceanic floor would anyway feel like a hyperloop tube build on the surface.

[@aironquetulio3270]

HOw will it be impossible the outside pressure wont affect it unless it can affect the loop which by then the loop is broken because the only way to access it is if it has a crack or hole which i s not possible (unless its made in china!)

[@MEsiex]

Hyperloop won't be viable anyway. Neither under sea, nor on land due to how impractical it is to generate low pressure in the whole tube every time someone wants get in or get out

[@domdom3494]

Airon Quetulio no... No that's not how pressure works...

[@NoNameAtAll2]

ᅚᅚ ᅚᅚ If we manage to build structure that will hold 60+ bar, another 1 between air and vacuum won't be a problem

[@joshdoeseverything4575]

the hyperloop couldn't work for a variety of problems but this isn't one of them lol. at the bottom of the ocean the pressure is around 10,000 psi, and assuming the tube has regular sea level pressure it would be 14.7 psi, but pumping that down to a vacuum would bring it down to 0 psi. when you're talking about a difference between 10,000 and 14.7 vs 0 there's really not much difference

what about a train track that will go from africa across the suez cannal, through israel to jorden and then to euro-asia

[@rachaelbee22]

but what about tectonic plates moving?

[@foxtrot4352]

The tectonic plates don’t move much anyways. 1 Centimeter or Millimeter per year. Plus you only have to worry about the Ring of Fire.

[@randomsheep2949]

Imagine you live in japan and your university is in london(perfect for the fast metro station)

[@aswinjose9475]

What about a universal country

[@iannicolson]

Aswin Jos I hope that happens. When the Soviet Union and the DDR is a thing again, they will absorb the world eventually. It will make one socialist state that is the entire world. Long live the Juche ideology.

[@jukujuku6153]

We’d be the largest country

[@stubbypepperroni2357]

Lorraine Nicolson Socialism cant work on a large scale, as the system is ewsy to exploit by doing little work for the same pay, and corruption which is easy to find in a centralized system.
