Gondolas as Transit

In the absence of urban air mobility (UAM) progress, gondolas may become a more feasible form of air travel. With the success of this mode in many Latin American cities (Caracas, Bogotá, Medellín, Mexico City, and others), interest in gondolas as public transit is growing both in the U.S. and internationally.

Despite their ability to surpass congestion on the ground, gondolas do have limitations, and localities will need to weigh their benefits relative to more traditional public transportation methods.
