LOL, now obviously that's an idiotic idea. However, keep in mind that a gondola can do things that buses and even trains can't: it can climb over hills and mountains for a more direct route... likely at a much cheaper price.
Keep in mind that a gondola/tram was in fact considered not that long ago:

I saw that. The proposal is an embarrassment to Cal Poly. I just hope folks confuse it with the Pomona campus. It is too idealistic and unrealistic for the Planning department at Cal Poly, unless it was from grad students or out of the architecture department - each are not bound by things that are practical.
