    That isn't nearly enough traffic. How many thousands travel between LA and San Fran every day?

It actually is. He addressed it in the paper, but the current yearly number of travelers between them is 6 million people. This facilitates 7 million and some change. He also noted that this would obviously increase the desire to make that trip, and the Hyperloop is capable of increasing the number of passengers as that occurs.
