Why do all Latinx cities have this gimmick now

>>212797026 (OP)
no one can mug/steal you up there

cheap and good for mountanous cities
we have them in like 9 cities here because all cities in the north are mountainous

where i live we have one of these that goes up a hill to a hospital

>>212797026 (OP)
Mountains duh

>>212797026 (OP)
its cheap to make compared to metro and in mountainous/hilly terrain its very effective + people like the virew

we have it in israel pic related

It actually made sense in La Paz and to some extent Bogota and Medellin but now others are trying to copy it even though it doesn't make sense.

The initial construction is very cheap, but its difficult to maintain and isn't very good for transit unless there are untraversable geographic constraints that it bypasses. Look at the lines during rush hour.

There are a few here, mostly for the steep-slope neighborhoods up on the hill

all copied from Rio

I'd spend hours on that. How much does it cost?

>>212797438
6 shekels a ride

That's less than $2. Thats a lot cheaper than I thought it would be. I'd spend $100 on it easily. That ocean view is stunning.

>now
ours is there since 1980

Countries closer to the equator break the rules of cities being in the low ground, because in such hot countries it's too fucking hot and/or humid on the low grounds

>>212797907
It's a short ride

>tectonically inactive
>one of the wealthiest places on earth
>roads crumbling to dust are giving people lung cancer, railways are being ripped up and replaced with walking paths or nature preserves

>chile
>mountains
>earthquakes
>brown reggaeton shithole
>skycars, monorails, likely teleportation soon

what gives?

>>212797907
its the same as a regular bus ride you pay for it with the same app you use on all trains/buses... compare it to this. its just a quick way to get from the train station to the university

which costs like 30 because its meant to be a tourist trap.

we also have one at a ski site but its far outside any city

most people aren't antisocial retards like Americans who look at any move towards collective good with suspicion

>>212798545
can i get a funnier answer please

>>212797063
Are you sure about it anon?

I prefer the Santiago Funicular

>>212797907
>I'd spend $100 on it easily
you know its not a park but a transport system right? of course it's affordable

>>212797907
why the fuck would you spend $100? are you retarded?

>>212799284
Man, that's a very retro funicular. Also, it's purely touristic right?

>>212799284
thought santiago was more in a valley and valparaiso would have more

>>212799494
It has to do with the year of construction
In Europe it is normal,
although they have others that are modern

>>212800793
I know, we have a funicular from the 20's in my city, but it has been upgraded a couple of times so it looks completely different.

>>212799656
Valparaíso is a decadent city that has blocked all progress initiatives (new port, cruise terminals, reconstruction of the city) and its finuculars are no strangers to them.

They should modernize the ones they have and build new ones, but not a futuristic model that looks like an taxi of the empire in star wars or an amusement park train
I'll stick with an intermediate version

>>212799284
reminds me of our funicular-metro thing down the side of the mountain

>>212797026 (OP)
Why must those have cameras focusing on you? I just want some privacy ant time alone bro

>>212800793
