Skypods: Are gondolas the next big thing in urban transport?

Gondolas are an effective form of transportation in places with steep inclines like ski hills and vast cities that spawl up mountainsides. What remains to be determined is if they are effective in flatlands. Also, these "Aerobuses" aren't cable cars, the support cable/structure is fixed and these traverse along them, rather than the cable itself being driven. 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?
