Why does everyone talk about solutions to bypass traffic (for the wealthy of course) instead of solutions to get rid of traffic for everyone? Oh wait, that solution already exists, it’s called trains!

        Thanks, I’ll put it on my to watch list.

        Or the idea that you fly over the traffic instead of solving it

        This I can see, but it would be more relevant with a small thing like Robinson R22. Something a businessman would use to zip above traffic and avoid all them yucky proles. But a flying bus with 40 seats, that rotodyne was? Sounds more like something used for passenger transport in complex terrain, i.e. mountains. In fact, USSR did actively use helicopters in Caucasus, where building roads and especially railways is difficult, but people still need to get around.
