Rather than 2 parallel hyperloops would it be more efficient to make passing points? Orgainse timings so pods pull off at a platform and then car traveling in the opposite direction or overtaking can go past.


but that would prevent using the pressure in the loop?


Not if the pod itself is creating the pressures needed. I believe this is the current thinking as a true evacuated tunnel was deemed not feasible.That said they do envisage 2 tracks. Interesting read linked;
