Again, maybe you aren't in America, but outside of SF and NYC, literally every major city is brimming with already loud highway interchanges/off-ramps.
Just cap those and put the landing pad on top. Space is not the issue.
- nradov 4y agoBuilding helipads on highway interchanges won't make air taxis viable. Passengers would still have to take a ground taxi to the final destination, thus eliminating any significant time savings on most routes. In order for air taxis to make economic sense they have to bring passengers directly to within a few blocks of the destination.
- RC_ITR 4y agoAgain, maybe you're not in the US, but here we chose to build those interchanges right downtown, Say what you will about America, but we built our environment to accommodate decentralized forms of transit, it's sort of our thing.
