Hyperloop math
500 miles
1 stretch, 2 stations
10 year capex loan
100 people/flight x 6 flights/day both ways x 6 days/week >> 4000 people weekly >> 200000 people annually x 25% of market avg over 10 years >> 50000 people annually
$100 /seat one way >> $5M revenue annually
60-80% operating margin >> $3-4M annual op profit
60-80% op profit set aside for
