The aim is to make helicopters a viable alternative to road transport. For just over 100 dollars, you could fly to the international airport - twice the price of a regular taxi, but as little as a tenth of the journey time. For those with the money, it's tempting - but they're still the minority.
推行该业务的目的是让直升机成为可替代公路交通的出行方式。只要100多美元,你就可以搭乘直升机飞往该市的国际机场。虽然价格是普通出租车的两倍,但在路上花的时间仅是原来的十分之一。对于有经济能力的人来说,这很有吸引力,不过能承担得起这类消费的人还在少数。
Jacqueline spends as much as six hours a day commuting across the city – first a bus, then a metro and then another bus – the same on the way home.
杰奎琳妮每天要花六小时在城市间通勤,她先乘巴士,再换地铁,然后再换乘巴士,她回家的路程也是一样的。
Jacqueline Jesus, commuter
"It would be marvellous, no? In five minutes, I'd be here. I wouldn't have to wake up so early. I'd have far more time to do lots more things. People joke that the thing that tires out people the most is the commuting, not the actual job."
杰奎琳妮·赫苏斯 上班族
“这将是非常了不起的出行方式,不是吗?只要五分钟,我就到了。我就不用那么早起床,而是会有更多时间做更多其它的事。人们常开玩笑说,让上班族感到筋疲力尽的是往返于工作地点和家之间的路程,而不是工作本身。”
