Very few people use them unless they have to. They appear to be for the very wealthy (the charges to go a few miles are ridiculous) and to keep making the private business group that built them money (despite promises to the contrary). They are trying to build one that goes from a major city to the coastal port, but are running into some resistance from the smaller towns along its proposed route.
