Dive Brief:

 

Hyperloop One has selected 10 routes — including four in the U.S. — as part of its Hyperloop One Global Challenge, according to the company. It wants to have three full-scale systems operational by 2021.

 

Officials issued an open invitation to public and private groups in May 2016 to develop a plan for a hyperloop system in their respective localities.

The U.S. winners are Cheyenne, WY–Denver–Pueblo, CO; Chicago–Columbus, OH–Pittsburgh; Miami–Orlando, FL; and Dallas–Houston.
