Within minutes of using an app to book a ride, Agostino Fernandes was looking down on lush greenery from a helicopter taxi high above Bangalore — one of several Uber-style chopper services taking off to help commuters tackle increasingly congested megacities.
In under 30 minutes — a quarter of the time it would have taken from downtown Bangalore by road — Fernandes was strolling through Kempegowda International Airport to his gate.
“It’s much better than the usual car or taxi because it saves time,” he told AFP.
“And for a city like Bangalore, which they call India’s green capital because of the parks and gardens, you get a very nice view.” From New York to Jakarta, chopper-hailing services have been taking off to help commuters beat the traffic chaos.
