Elevated train platforms may have escape ladders, but I thought the Hyperloop tube was depressurized and the car within it needs to be pressurized. This poses a problem for the escaping passengers before they reach the ladder.


It's only a partial vacuum from what I understand. I'm not sure what kind of difference that makes but presumably it would be easier to depressurize in an emergency.


Aren't all real world "vacuums" really only partial vacuums?
