The present invention relates to a vacuum transportation system (100) comprising a tube (204), a platform (110), and a track (112). The tube (204) may comprise a skin (102) and a framework (202). The framework (202) may comprise formers (104), flanges (106), and longerons (108). The formers (104) may be separated from each other by a first predefined distance and positioned beneath the skin (102) in a longitudinal direction of the framework (202). The flanges (106) may be separated from each other by a second predefined distance and positioned outside the skin (102) in the longitudinal direction. The longerons (108) may connect consecutive formers with each other. The platform (110) may pass through and over a bottom area of the tube (204). The platform (110) may rest over pylons (114) placed longitudinally. The track (112) may be placed longitudinally on the platform (110) for enabling movement of objects inside the tube (204).
