Would you use an air taxi?

Over the last couple of years there have been several stories about air taxis coming to the state. Here is a video about it: https://youtu.be/qv2nxymDIpA?si=ZUiGL7pQ8fQtkAv9

I have no idea how much it will cost compared to a bus or rental car. It can’t go everywhere a car can go obviously, it needs to be able to land.

As a side note, FL also has the first US high speed train. It’s only high speed on part of the route. It currently goes between Miami and Orlando, arguments and negotiations are happening about it extending west through Orlando to Tampa.

With both the air taxi or train, the problem still exists that going to your own house or to a resort at Universal or Disney, the train or plane would drop off at a central point and then you still need to take more transportation to your final destination unless your Disney resort happens to have an air landing pad on the rooftop like a hospital can receive a helicopter. I don’t see that happened.

At the same time, flying over Orlando traffic to where I live an hour north instead of taking a shuttle or driving has some appeal. I would prefer the train come up here, but that won’t happen, even though we have tracks that probably could be refurbished. Not sure what happened with that and when.
