Gotham Air is an Uber-like service that is not bound by the rules of the road, which is what many urban commuters would wish for when in a rush to get somewhere. This is because it is a helicopter service that works on a rideshare system. Although people need to request a helicopter ride from Gotham Air an hour in advance, it will get people to their destination in just six minutes.
Of course, there is another important stipulation: a total of four passengers need to book through Gotham Air to confirm the flight. Available between 8am and 8pm, the Gotham Air helicopter launches from a helipad in downtown Manhattan. The service will expand depending on demand.
