Station Construction The intention for Hyperloop stations is for them to be minimalist but practical and with a boarding process and layout much simpler than airports. Due to the short travel time and frequent departures, it is envisaged that there will be a continual flow of passengers through each Hyperloop station, in contrast to the pulsed situation at airports which leads to lines and delays. Safety and security are paramount, and so security checks will still be made in a similar fashion as TSA does for the airport. The process could be greatly streamlined to reduce wait time and maintain a more continuous passenger flow. All ticketing and baggage tracking for the Hyperloop will be handled electronically, negating the need for printing boarding passes and luggage labels. Since Hyperloop travel time is very short, the main usage is more for commuting than for vacations. There would be a luggage limit of 2 bags per person, for no more than 110 lb (50 kg) in total. Luggage would be stowed in a separate compartment at the rear of the capsule, in a way comparable to the overhead bins on passenger aircraft. This luggage compartment can be removed from the capsule, so that the process of stowing and retrieving luggage can be undertaken separately from embarking or disembarking the capsule’s passenger cabin. In addition, Hyperloop staff will take care of loading and unloading passenger luggage in order to maximize efficiency. The transit area at a Hyperloop terminal would be a large open area with two large airlocks signifying the entry and exit points for the capsules. An arriving capsule would enter the incoming airlock, where the pressure is equalized with
