    Very good idea for hilly cities with chronically jammed streets. Until now i only knew cable cars going up to the mountains.

      Hi Rws, thanks for the comment. Yep, I love taking these cable car trips though they don’t do particularly well on the channel! I’ll continue to seek them out where I can and maybe one day I’ll get over to Tbilisi- I’ve never been. Have a great trip over there and enjoy the ride! All the best, Mark

    Having done a real quick google search, it looks as if the plane has been converted into a Library in one of the poorest areas in Mexico City! Apparently the kids and locals really benefit from it being there! If true, that's pretty incredible! 😁

      I'm mexican from Mexico City and actually living and one of those neighborhoods. There are quite a few other planes in some other parks like the one you all saw there. These parks are called "Utopias" and they promote different social and cultural activities and some of then actually have nice swimming pools. The planes were turned into places for reading scientific book for children and adults and for using computers also for scientific purposes.

  • @baseballfan99
    @baseballfan99 2 года назад +1

    Excellent video and effort. It’s great a new line has opened as I can see the advantages for locals over other forms of available transportation having seen the previous line on a tv doc. I guess there is virtually no other city you can do this in and see so much, certainly puts London’s short effort to shame. The only time I have gone over a whole City like that was a 40 min helicopter ride in LA.

    • @LetsMakeaTrip
      @LetsMakeaTrip  2 года назад +1

      I didn’t know there was a tv doc tbh, I picked this up from another RUclips video and thought it worth trying. Such a cheap way of seeing the area too. Didn’t see one other tourist!

    Very good video! When I read "cable car" first I thought of a transportation system like in San Francisco. This system is really helpful. In some German cities systems like this have been proposed. In Koblenz, it has been established for a gardening exhibition, and it is well accepted by the public.

    • @LetsMakeaTrip
      @LetsMakeaTrip  2 года назад

      Hi Dirk, yes they’re proposing two more lines in Mexico City but I don’t really see this kind of thing anywhere else? Which is a shame really as it’s seems a great way of commuting providing you don’t have to wait too long for the gondolas at busy times. Maybe it’s to do with getting planning consent? Would you want people flying over your garden in one of these for like 16 hours a day?! 😂

      Haha, yes very similar to the ski resort type aren’t they. Totally agree, if you could get the towers (or whatever they’re called) in without too much fuss from the residents, it’s a fairly cheap solution I would’ve thought?
