The pandemic could favour a hyperloop project
A hyperloop is a magnetic levitation train that operates in a vacuum tube. Thus, there is no wheel friction and no air resistance. The geography of Europe and high land prices lend themselves well to this concept. A hyperloop takes up less space than a railway. Madrid, Paris, Amsterdam and Frankfurt
