Suspended cable cars

Connected Sites: 37

WHS that have suspended cable cars in their core zones. The cable car systems must be still in use for the transport of goods or people. Cable cars are defined as aerial tramways, gondola lifts, and chairlifts, in which the vehicle is suspended in the air from a cable. This in contrast to cable railways, which have their own connection: Funiculars.
