Pneumatic tubes were supposed to revolutionize the world but have fallen by the wayside. Except in hospitals.

    I want more pneumatic tube systems. I don’t care what it’s used for. They are super satifying and analog.

      Yeah, what happened to transit pneumatic tubes? I feel like hyperloop was supposed to be close to that, but that never happened.

      Make it an attraction, I’ll ride it.

        The Hyperloop was very successful, it prevented billions of dollars of investment in mass transit, then evaporated before it could reduce the market for cars.

        Pressure failures is what happened to transit tubes. Usually with grisly results.
