Hyperloops are a promising whizz-bang idea, but it's not like we haven't developed technology for mass transit. Subways, light rail, and dedicated bus ways all work rather well. The California high-speed rail is obscenely expensive mostly for political reasons, not logistical ones.

Furthermore, a Hyperloop might get you from city to city, but then local transit is needed for those last couple miles.
