    These things scare me - really! I have seen one running out of control down a hill there once... a nasty crash resulted.

    Heaven help you if you slip and step into one of the cable car tracks crossing a road...

    they were a way of creating an infrastructure capable of dealing with the steep gradients involved, that were a practical solution in the context of their time.
    like steam, they are a fascinating technology, though perhaps never quite optimal. people become emotionally attached to an illusion. today's automobile, isn't one either.
    (they also have a very effective emergency breaking system that i'm sure must have been more then meets they eye as to why it wasn't applied, or that it was allowed to get out of control, which the grip on the cable, which runs at a steady 12.5 mph, would have had to have been released for that to happen. naturally all things mechanical are subject to failure.)
