Gondola lift
aerial transport by means of cable cabins attached onto a circulating haul rope that moves continuously around a looped track / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A gondola lift is a type of public transport. It consists of cabins fixed to a cable that travels between two stations. The cable is moved around by motors at the stations and is lifted from the ground by towers. A gondola lift is similar to a cable car, and sometimes it is called like that. However, unlike a cable car a gondola lift contains many cabins that go around at the same time. Usually the cabins slow down at the stations to allow passengers to get in or out.
Gondola lifts are mainly used in skiing resorts to transport tourists up and down the mountains.
