Cable cars certainly have their uses. They are dope in situations where you do not have an existing alternative (like up a mountain) and still want to move a reaonable amount of people. Places where the terrain is not condusive to a straight connection on ground level (like up a mountain). Places where you have a somewhat steady and reliable but not overly huge stream of people (like up a mountain).
But they also have issues: They’re not actually that fast. On a level path even a casual cyclist can keep up. While you can have intermediate stops - every gondola has to stop there. You can’t have express gondolas that skip it in order to get from end to end faster.
