No they will not fix traffic problems because the problem is cars.

If there is less traffic people will still choose to drive, because there will be less traffic.

Cable cars can work in some specific conditions, but they absolutely do not have the capacity to influence traffic. We need functiong trains, not gadgetbahns.

More fucking trains! I want people to finally be able to bring their bikes on VIA trains between major cities. I want frequent departures. I want passenger trains that are not stuck behind freight trains!

Not even that. The intercity coach services that I was using 20 years ago are actively degrading, cutting routes and departures.

For fuck's sake. Can we just have normal boring transit instead of those flashy projects?!
