travel time is 5-10 mins with 40 mins to 2hours.

Yes, it is better compared to helicopter. cheaper, less noise. e.g. you can place it more applications, for less money.

Well it's 5-10 minutes once you get to the west 30th st heliport, which can easily take 20 minutes within Manhattan. Plus getting loaded in, cleared for takeoff, and potential for backups at the landing pads, I suspect the gains are much less in practice.
