  Neither do cable cars?

    Look at all the complexity needed to get a cable car to follow curves. Top comment was implying that using a cable would eliminate the issues with gears or traction. That’s not true.

      Not only the complexity… the power. The San Francisco system uses 95% of its power just overcoming cable friction.
