Europe's first Hyperloop facility was unveiled in Delft on Thursday and aims to cut down the commute between European capitals to a matter of minutes. Hyperloop creators teamed up with Dutch organisation Hardt, the Technical University of Delft, and construction company BAM for the project.

First tests are to be launched in the end of 2017 with the first hyperloop line to be up and running by 2019.
