"Far from being an outlandish, unpractical idea, gondolas are the future of urban transportation. And the sky’s not the limit, for they hold a unique potential to transform both public transit and the landscape of the city. Boston, let’s rise above and embrace them."
1. I'm gondola-agnostic, but if it's just replicating a road or transit, we're just paying to not do what's right.
2. If we can't keep trains in good repair, you really wanna dangle from an MBTA cable?

"New" cities are always gonna suck, and have to resort to gimmicks to move people around, as long as we treat universal stress-free motor vehicle access to them as a nonnegotiable need.
my blue-sky idea is buses in exclusive lanes every 3 minutes.
@bikepedantic the funny thing to me is there is literally an exclusive bus lane with a station network positioned almost directly under the proposed gondola line. Like you just need to run the thing you have properly and it will be fine
@bikepedantic "but where will we park???"
