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

Sure, it's been done. It has worked well in Medellin and now several Latin American cities are starting to get them. There's a proposal to do one in Burnaby, BC to go up Burnaby Mountain.

It seems like mountainous terrain is a requirement. Are you thinking about anything specific, or is this just a shower thought?

Not just mountainous terrain. Mexico City has one that goes over some densely packed naighborhoods. The roads are not good for buses, so the cable cars go over the town and connect to the BRT
