    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 makes sense some places. La Paz, Bolivia has much of its public transit by cable car because it’s so mountainous.

      It’s a lot more practical? Cheap to build and minimal footprint on the ground so existing buildings can stay put.

    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.
