The Role of Cable Cars in Public Transport (READ DESCRIPTION)

CORRECTION: At around 3:50, I suggested that London could've built a pedestrian and bike only bridge, instead of the London Cable Car. 
This would be impossible, because of the height clearance needed for ship traffic.. However, a pedestrian and bike only tunnel still could've been built, and still would probably be cheaper. 

I'm sorry for being a bellend. 

If I say the phrase public transportation, what are the first things that come to mind? It's probably buses, trains, trams, subways, and maybe a few boats. Then there are the genius projects of blood-emerald billionaire Elon Musk, like his vacuum-sealed tictac slinging machine, but.. come on, powering airplanes with the passengers’ farts would yield a better result than what that man sh**s out. But only a few cities around the world have these: cable cars. Cable cars are a viable, but niche method of transportation. There's a reason you only see them frequently at ski resorts or somewhere with loads of steep hills, with a few exceptions. In this video, we'll take a look at cable cars, where they're used, how they integrate into the public transport systems around the world, and more.
