cablecars
Suspended hill transport
Cable cars are vehicles that travel along cables, either suspended from overhead lines or pulled by cables running beneath the street.
San Francisco's iconic streetcars use underground cables; aerial cable cars carry passengers up mountainsides or across valleys.
We took the cable car to the summit.
Also spelled as two words: cable cars.
