Does Mumbai have the hills for a cable car system?
I can't speak for others, but I can't tell what sort of "cable car"
system is being discussed. I know of three distinctly different
technologies that go by that name:
1. Streetcars powered by a moving cable under the roadway; San
Francisco's are the most famous example.
2. Funicular railways, which generally balance two cars on a hill with a
cable wrapping around a powered pully at the top.
3. Aerial tramways, where cabins are elevated above the ground. These
can be a single car, two cars, or multiple cars in a loop.
Much easier to discuss if we know what we're talking about.
