Depends on how you see it. Many see cars and buses and (insanely expensive) light-rail on streets as a visual blight. The Wuppertal footprint is very large. Compare to (the very economical 1970s design of) the Dortmund H-Bahn: each pylon uses about 1m2 of ground. Clearly designed to please engineers, not contractors and investors. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Dortmund_H-Bahn https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Dortmund_H-Bahn https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Dortmund_H-Bahn#/media/File:TU-Dortmund-Sued-71-.JPG https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Dortmund_H-Bahn#...
