Do you have any idea how much time and resources it would take to construct high speed rail across the US compared to small local airstrips for VTOLs?

Do you have a idea how much more efficient it would be?

Yeah and think of how many more people a single eight-person helicopter can move per hour! An obvious choice

Do you know how much more utility and efficiency actual public transport has?
Flying is a horrible option for short range public transport.

An order of magnitude less than carrying the same cargo via VTOLs.
