Urban Cable Cars for City Planners

The document discusses cable cars as a mode of urban transportation. It notes that cable cars can provide transportation in three dimensions, require little space, and are accessible and environmentally friendly. Several case studies of existing cable car systems are presented, including examples in Portland, Mombasa, Caracas, London, Koblenz, and La Paz that demonstrate how cable cars can integrate into urban transportation networks, provide access across barriers, and save travel time compared to other modes. Advantages of cable cars for transportation include their ability to transport many passengers per hour in a small footprint and with low energy use.
