In cities with a large elevation difference this is really neat. The system in La Paz (Bolivia) for example is really efficient, almost like a metro, just with cable-cars.
Nah, to me this is like a typical “train/tram, but more fancy and less practical”. But I guess it is better than nothing.
It’s a lot more practical? Cheap to build and minimal footprint on the ground so existing buildings can stay put.
It makes sense some places. La Paz, Bolivia has much of its public transit by cable car because it’s so mountainous.
I’m sure it does make sense in some places yeah.
nah, I take one almost every day for work, and it’s a 5 minute trip, quicker than trying to walk, bike, drive, or take the bus, and it almost always is carrying 20-30 people each trip
