A UAVePort is a small structure that serves as a passenger entry/exit port for UAVeRunners ("Runners"). 

Components

Early designs for Ports closely resembled HeliPads, but the high traffic of a busy Port complex risked too much liability. They were soon converted to a vertical shaft structure that minimized risk to passengers, bottlenecked access, and protected the Runners when not in use.

The height of this shaft varies according to the environs, most frequently due to the need to minimize wind buffeting to pedestrians. Depending on population density they may be one to three stories high. In a low- or zero-density area like a rooftop, the walls may be no higher than a standard doorway. 

The shaft is usually as narrow as a standard parking space, in the case of smaller taxi-sized Runners. Larger vehicles like the UAVeBus might require non-standard ports. The FlexPort can accommodate one Bus or six Runners. 

A Runner lands on and takes off from an elevator platform in its topmost position, meaning that while inside the shaft it is not in flight. The elevator platform has interfaces for charging and cooling, minimizing downtime. The passenger access port is usually at ground level, though there may be multiple ports to give multiple avenues of access to the same Runner.

Locations

As passenger drones displace enough air to bother or even knock over pedestrians, most Ports are situated in locations that minimize such proximity.

Shorter buildings often house them on rooftops, in some cases dedicating their entire top floors to them. UAVe often leases and retrofits top floors in mixed-zoned areas in city centers, offering elevator-accessible ports in areas that might be too dense for street-level access.

Taller buildings often make use of overhanging tiers and other horizontal irregularities to fit multiple groups of Ports into their architecture.

Arcologies commonly integrate the ports into their profiles seamlessly, fitting them in any surface space available.

Many busy city centers have replaced some streetside parking spots with Ports in in groups of two to four where the efficiency payoff offsets the reduction in terrestrial parking capacity. The height of the ports is often increased to two or three stories to minimize surface-level wind buffeting in enclosed spaces.
