Helicopter commuting is so wasteful and awful it ought to be illegal. Why should I have to suffer the noise pollution of some rich asshole riding a marginally quicker commute? In fact while they are allowing helicopter commute, they should pay everyone in on the commute path $100 in compensation, and then another $1000 to the state for the air pollution and the carbon emission.
- nine_k 6y agoMaybe this is why helicopter "commute" in NYC mostly happens above water, where a car or a train is not such a good option. The cheapest I know is $400 from Manhattan to JFK; I could probably use it in a pinch (say, a transatlantic flight with a connection), if split between four passengers. Police helicopters and fire trucks are much more bothersome sources of noise.
- runarberg 6y agoI’m fine with the noise pollution if it means potentially saving someones live. However some rich asshole wanting do depart 20 min later then otherwise, to the airport is unacceptable.
