Hyperloop-systems could eventually be suitable for container freight traffic in some cases. However, for the passenger's transport hyperloops are seen very critical, because of considerable security problems and maintenance-intensive, technical requirements. Many Maglev experts reject hyperloop for passenger transport.

 As more maglev systems are deployed, experts expect hyperloop infrastrucutre construction costs to drop by employing new construction methods and from economies of scale.

Even if the costs of creating the infrastructure can be covered and the safety aspects solved, there is still no operational concept that would appear to make economic sense. This is the main reason for the rejection of Hyperloop projects by many transport scientists.
