Question

NathanDavis · Accepted Answer

as everyone else has already pointed it out...

I'll just mention the one city with the biggest fleet of "helicopter taxi rides" just so for the rich, not having to deal with the "poor traffic" urbanization chaos... lol

and that's Sao Paulo, in Brazil... with around 600 helicopters operating at the time, and it would make a trip to be just 20 minutes time... instead of several hours stuck on land, lol

I'd rather be stuck in a comfy air conditioned car with a real sound system then a piece of shit that might overheat if I don't start moving soon. I've experienced both.

Mostly no, in the sense they can't get anywhere any faster than anyone else. Maybe a little though, in the sense they might be more comfortable in their fancy seats and can spend some time enjoying whatever amenities their car has that the other ones don't to pass the time stuck in traffic.

At that point no, not really, in terms of getting where you’re headed on time. However it probably makes a difference in the type of car you’re cocooned in while waiting in the traffic jam. One would probably be more roomy, luxurious, and comfortable. …lol

Money matters. Wealth is power. And power corrupts people. This simple traffic analogy is a weak attempt to garner sympathy for the 1%. I'm not buying it.

Guess you're not rich enough if you don't fly with your private helicopter.

bolverk · Answer

Only because the money would determine the comfort of the car you could be in, as in without the money a 10+ yearold beater, with the money a Bentley Continental GT W12.

Their mode of transportation is likely far more comfortable. If they're really wealthy, they don't get stuck in traffic, they use a helicopter!

Yes because a rich hired someone else to drive! No stresses nor frustration! just read while waiting. And in a "stocked" car with drinks! Money helps!

slatyb · Answer

It doesn't help in some situations, but it can often buy convenience -- better seats pretty much everywhere, faster service, any amenity that can be sold is on the market these days.

It may not matter all that much since time is time, no matter whose time it is. It runs at the same rate.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

Money matters mainly for our essentials. Besides that, hardly nothing else but to flex ego if that's what a person is into.
