機場到市中心
South Korea recently displayed a system for regulating urban air mobility vehicles. It is hoped that the vehicles can serve as taxis between main airports and the country’s capital by 2025, shortening travel time by more than 60%.
韓國最近展示了一個管控都市型空中交通（UAM）的系統，政府希望在2025年前，推廣都市型空中交通工具，作為主要機場和首都之間的空中計程車，能省下60％以上的交通時間。
