This would be an excellent idea! It’s not for all cases but this could be adopted where it makes sense 👏

    Well, yes, El Alto itself has space, but one of the main reasons for the cable-car to exist is to connect El Alto with La Paz, and this would be absolutely impossible by conventional means.

      Then build trams, bike lanes and bus lanes in el alto and la paz. Just because its not possible one place In the city, doesn’t mean they can’t be done in other parts.

      E-bikes are a great way to get around hilly cities.

      The cable cars leave long gaps between stations so some more local transit would be beneficial.

      As for transport in Canada stick to the conventional methods, they are conventional methods because they work.

        The time lost switching the mode of transportation is probably way higher than the theoretically higher number of passengers. With the cable cars you can easily switch lines in the same station. There are no gaps.
