The project will be the pioneer of a network of ultra-fast trains that allows movement throughout Canada quickly and efficiently. And although FluxJet’s design will be premium, the company wants to make the ticket affordable.

Almost half the price of a flight

A train that could drastically change travel in Canada, Three times faster than a high-speed train, From Calgary to Edmonton in 45 minutes, It will work with renewable energy, Passengers and goods, Tremendous energy savings, Magnetic flotation system, 54 passengers per car, 80 second waiting time between trains, The project aims at Canada’s big cities, A billionaire investment, 140,000 jobs created, Affordable prices, premium travel, Almost half the price of a flight, Hyperloop competition?, No competition, Transpod implies

TransPod estimates that once operating, the FluxJet ticket between Calgary and Edmonton will be 44% less than a plane ticket with the same route.

Hyperloop competition?
