Lol. In sg, from one place to another place would not take long on normal traffic situation, but if traffic jam then problem liao. Such a capital intensive and high risk business cannot survive on 'just in case got traffic jam' customer base ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the min altitude is higher than Sg tallest building. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just an R&D test bed for the air taxi development & to attract additional investors - there's no actual business use here in Singapore. It'll be a novelty at best, just like the river taxis they discontinued some years back. They're targeting overseas markets - Jakarta, Bangkok etc could sure use them...

bsswan 6th Gear December 10, 2020 Share December 10, 2020 "However, tickets are already on sale, with a 15-minute trip costing 300 euros (~S$485). While prices are on the steep side, Volocopter said that it should significantly decrease once flights become more widely available." For that price, can fly to Australia! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Normally. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
