Now many people go to work and school on buses, trains and bikes. However, some people dream of a day when they can fly in the sky.

In Singapore, a company has showed a flying taxi. When some people travel in flying taxis, there will be fewer cars on the roads. It can be less crowded. In the 3D space of the sky, cars could move around each other without bridges or roads. The taxis can also take off and arrive on rooftops. That will save parking space on the ground. And flying is fun. It’s cool and interesting to fly in the sky every day on the way to work.

However, some people don’t like flying cars. A famous scientist has a rocket company and a car company. It seems that he can make flying cars, but he says, “If the sky is full of flying cars, it will be noisier. Something may fall on people’s heads more easily. It’s dangerous.” He thinks it’s much better to build lots of tunnels (隧道) underground.

Are flying cars or taxis a good idea? Shall we find other ways to solve the traffic problems?
