VTOLs are nothing but rich people’s toys. They’ll never take off (ha!) among the public. Good public transport will always be cheaper and less wasteful.

Not only that, but they will make an ungodly racket while doing so. Multi propellers all turning at a slightly different RPM, with all the annoying beat frequencies this will create. They will also likely be almost as expensive as helicopters (only a very small amount of a helicopter’s cost is its fuel, the overwhelming majority is maintenance and insurance).
