Ask Geoffrey: An Airline Taxi Service in Chicago
Clip: 9/4/2019 | 5m 22sVideo has Closed Captions
Geoffrey Baer tackles the saga of an ill-fated Chicago airport: Meigs Field.
What if instead of hailing a cab or a private car to get to O’Hare or Midway from downtown Chicago, you could hail an airplane? Geoffrey Baer is here with the story of a company that once offered that very service. (And no: It has nothing to do with Elon Musk.)
