On the second level of Museum of the Future, visitors were greeted by an impressive full-scale model of the flying taxis that are all set to take off in Dubai early next year.
Approximately the size of a chopper, the flying taxi is designed to carry up to four passengers, offering a smooth and efficient way to navigate the city. With six rotors and three rounded landing skids, its design sets it apart from traditional helicopters.
For others, the appeal lies in avoiding the city’s traffic. Dubai-based couple Hassan Kazemkhani and Maryam Hosseini saw the flying taxi as a practical solution for their daily commute. Hassan mentioned he would pay a maximum of Dh50 for a trip from Jumeirah to Deira.
Maryam acknowledged that while the service might be costly, it could be worthwhile in situations that would require punctuality. “I heard that they are expensive, but sometimes it’s worth if you need to be somewhere on time and the traffic is heavy,” she said.
