Gondolas and aerial tramways in cities

[amor de cosmos]

I found a thing in the Toronto Star about this. Could it work? It could be a bit like the rooftop-to-rooftop helicopter system in Sao Paulo, except cheaper & maybe(?) safer

Gondolas, he says, can cross water or 400-series highways without the expense of bridges. They can run less frequently over low-density areas and more often in highly populated districts. They can be beautiful, don't take up much more space than a telephone pole or light standard, require limited land and don't conflict with traffic.

"I would love to see a top-supported system (gondolas) run along the Don Valley or Humber Valley," said Dale.

"There's a system in Asia where one of the stations is located in a skyscraper. The technology is incredibly flexible."

That guy Steve Dale also has a blog called the Gondola Project, which has more details.
