A cable car or cable railway is a mass transit system using rail cars
that are hauled by a continuously moving cable running at a constant
speed. Individual cars stop and start by releasing and gripping this
cable as required. Cable cars are distinct from funiculars, where the
cars are permanently attached to the cable, and cable railways, which
are similar to funiculars, but where the rail vehicles are attached and
detached manually.
Though this cable car, should it actually get built, will be an
attraction as opposed to being a mass transit system.
