A cable car system is a type of transportation that uses cables to pull cars or gondolas along a fixed route, often up steep hills or mountains. This system is commonly found in cities and tourist areas, providing a scenic way to travel while overcoming challenging terrain. Cable cars are typically powered by a motor that turns a large wheel, which moves the cables. Passengers ride in enclosed cabins or open-air gondolas, enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Many cable car systems are designed to be environmentally friendly and can help reduce traffic congestion in urban areas.
