RE:Bombardier plans to bid for 30 rail projects

Hopefully, Bombardier will consider the HyperTransit idea proposed below as part of its competitive bids for these 30 rail contracts.

RE:Bombardier and HyperLoop Urban Transit - HyperTransit

This seems like a good idea for Bombardier to consider. The timing is especially good considering that Tesla is now competing with Bombardier.

Tesla is competing for a contract in Chicago for their urban transit system...Loop...that will go from Downtown Chicago to the Airport.

Ecovest wrote: To Bombardier…here's an idea for a new urban transit system based on a variation of the HyperLoop technology.

What IF the basic HyperLoop concept and construction technique is used to build new transit lines in urban centres?

This new HyperTransit system technology would be a LOW SPEED version of the HyperLoop that could quickly and cost effectively be constructed to expand existing urban transit systems in many cities such as Toronto (TTC Subway), Montreal (Metro), Vancouver (Skytrain) and elsewhere. Eventually, this HyperTransit system could replace and STANDARDIZE urban transit systems everywhere.

The basic concept for the HyperTransit system is to use a modular/Lego type construction technique that would be quicker and more cost effective than traditional construction methods. For example, for an underground (subway) transit system, a "cut and cover" construction technique would be feasible instead of a traditional underground boring technology which is typically very complex and expensive.

The HyperTransit would also be very suitable and cost effective for above ground installations.

The above ground "tube" part of the HyperTransit routes could be wrapped in flexible solar panels, thus capturing solar energy and enhancing the business case for the project.

Some logical partners for this project would be:

-Bombardier (expertise in urban transit systems and light rail)

-SNC Lavalin (expertise in constructing and operating P3 urban transit lines)

- La Caisse de dpt et placement du Qubec (CDPQ) - (expertise in financing, and in particular, their expertise with the "Rseau lectrique mtropolitain" project)

-Canada Infrastructure Bank

-Various levels of government

-Etc.
