1. Design Urban Gondolas and Cable Cars to look more like your city’s existing fleet of transit vehicles.
2. Add more seats to the vehicles. Make sure those seats are comfortable. Benches are not enough.
3. Fully integrate cable with your existing transit systems in a unified, single fare zone. No fee to transfer should be required.
4. Provide automated station stop announcements.
5. Design towers and stations to blend in better with your surrounding urban environment.
6. Smooth transitions from one technology to another by integrating cable transfer points with existing subway, streetcar, light rail and bus stations.
7. Build cable systems that cater to the needs of local commuters, not tourists.
8. Brand your cable system with your public transit authority’s colours, logos and insignias.
9. Add your cable lines to your transit system maps. Add these maps to the interior of your Cable Cars and Urban Gondolas.
10. Make sure your vehicles are heated and/or cooled as appropriate.
11. Dress those that are responsible for the safe operation of your Cable Car and your Urban Gondola in the uniform(s) of those who operate your other transit technologies.
12. Place advertisements found on your city’s other transit technologies on your Cable Car and Urban Gondola systems.
