    @sexy_peach It can mitigate a lot in some places.
    I don’t see as an adequate solution for the people transportation, but it can facilitate a lot the transportation of wares and hardware. I mean in the specific case of Israel, in which already the roads and the railways are overloaded.
    For transportation of people I agree that this solution cannot compete with a good public transport infrastructure, more traditional and based on train, bus and collective taxis.

      Air taxis are sort of like adding a thumb drive because you’ve run out of space on your HDD and SSD.

      The number of people you can move with eVTOL is just tiny compared to the throughput you’d need to dent traffic.
