OK- this is hilarious and sadly, something that I think is ABSOLUTELY necessary for Dubai. The traffic here is impressive. I lived in DC for over 2 years and never had to deal with anything close to this. I have already ranted about the inability of people here to drive correctly, in any weather condition. On top of that, there is no plan for infrastructure. They have no consistent signage or road planning. It is like the Thunderdome of driving.
Luckily, they have tons of money so Air Taxis will become a viable option:
"An air taxi service is set to launch in Dubai next year for businessmen who want to avoid the city’s congested roads.
Cars Taxi is to operate a fleet of 10 helicopter taxis. General Manager Abdullah Sultan Al Sabbagh told Gulf News “We are finalising the plan to introduce helicopter taxi service in the UAE by 2009 and anyone who can afford it will be able to use it.”
The company is negotiating with European firms for the lease of the aircraft, AL Sabbagh told the paper, adding the service would be nationwide, not just in the city."
HD of UAE!
I heart this!
