I think each presents different engineering challenges.
Does anyone know if there are other more modern installations of something more similar to the Aerobus design?

I think that Rio de Janeiro has some sort of gondola system going through its favelas as the try to gentrify them..? Other than that, I don't think anything super cutting edge is in the works around the world.
