cablecar
Gondola on wires
A cablecar is a vehicle suspended from an overhead cable, used to transport passengers across valleys, up mountains, or over obstacles.
The term also applies to San Francisco's iconic streetcars, which are pulled along tracks by an underground cable: We rode the cablecar up to Nob Hill.
Also spelled cable car.
