The top speed has been proposed at 1100 kmph, while the operational speed of the system has been proposed at 360 kmph or 100 metres per second. The first phase will be for 11.5 kilometres which will mostly be to demonstrate and to certify the technology. The Hyperloop project will be built in two phases. It does not stop at stations in between two destinations. The Hyperloop is also an on-demand system and gives point-to-point access, directly reaching the destination. The pod carrying about 24-28 people at once runs on frictionless path at very high speeds.
