Travelling in impossibly packed Bombay locals in 1988 I had written a piece on how the future of transport would involve moving people in tubes like capsules stacked in a bundle much like electrons or photons flow in a cable. That is pretty much the Hyperloop. And guess what, with five inch touch screens and bluetooth, Wifi and google glass the passengers won't need much elbow room either. No centrespread to unfurl in your neighbour's face you see!
