A trip from Dubai to Doha in 23 minutes? Welcome to Hyperloop One!

On November 8, Hyperloop One is all set to make a major announcement in Dubai that could have huge implications for the future of travel and movement.

The company, which specialises in the development of hyper-fast travel solutions, gave a sneak peak into the future of mobility via a YouTube teaser. Here it is.

Although not too many details have emerged so far, the teaser screams “Dubai to Abu Dhabi in 12 minutes, Dubai to Riyadh in 48 minutes, Dubai to Doha in 23 minutes, Dubai to Muscat in 27 minutes,”

While the Hyperloop One can dramatically improve transport times, in the beginning, it could be aimed at transporting incoming freight from container ships to a depot. The dramatic cut down of unloading times could help ports handle more volume of materials in a shorter span of time.

Hyperloop One is partnering with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority to make the world’s most advanced transportation infrastructure, with Hyperloop technology as the foundation.

Earlier this year, Hyperloop One had carried out a successful test of its propulsion technology in a desert outside Nevada, Las Vegas, where it achieved speeds of 187 km/h in 1.1sec.

Great initiative by Dubai. Read about this a week or so ago. However, the trip from Dubai to Qatar is a new one to me. I wonder how the visa processing via Saudi will be handled
