Same as turbines are no good on 10 minute sectors requiring engine shut down.
The current system wasn't designed for person carrying quad-copters either. There was a lot of time and effort put into trying to establish commercial helicopter service in the 1970's. It went nowhere and died because there were a lot of reasons it's not a practical, economically viable business. A lot of those reasons transfer directly to other iterations of commercial intra-urban VTOL air service ... like quad-copters.
