Yet another engineering firm's proposal to fix traffic amounts to private pods in the sky. While I do think that Wonderland needs a high-order transit connection, I can't help but think if those wires were closer to the ground, electrified, and positioned over a tram track they would provide much higher throughput, utility, flexibility, and all-weather reliability than gondolas.

Ridiculous. The YR #20 bus goes right there from Vaughan Metro center along Jane every 20 minutes. If they were serious about this they could just have two dedicated bendy-busses criss-crossing each other on the route, its only 10minutes.

I mean don't get me wrong. Cable cars are cool.

But heckaspensive. And in this case completely unnecessary.
