Gondolas may seem like an odd idea for urban transit, but they are uniquely strong in meeting these criteria. They provide transportation that is extremely frequent (a cabin leaves as often as every 12 seconds), fast (they don’t have to stop for any traffic signals or traffic), and reliable—three of the primary factors that researchers have found determine people’s choices to use transit over driving. Because gondolas run on electricity and do not use batteries, they can use 100% renewable energy.
