Great video: one translation error I noticed:
Spanish: "que tenga una definición clara en sus trazados, en sus inicios, y terminaciones"
English: "that has a clear definition of its delays, starts, and stops"

Trazado is not delay but rather "route or course".

This is at about 2 minutes and 52 seconds.

street escalators would work well in downtown San Francisco and certainly would be cheaper than the central subway stub to chinatown

could you imagine the indignation by our self appointed community leaders!

Great film, Elizabeth. Medellin really seems to be focused on 21st century solutions for moving people around the city comfortably, efficiently and safely.

I don't know the exact numbers but it seems to be more of a feeder for the main metro line. When, you go from having little to no public transportation in your neighborhood due to topography to having a cable car, I think it is quite welcomed. (And, I don't love heights myself but for me it wasn't too stressful.)

Thank you Street Films for this great piece! We have placed it on our blog! http://www.colombiaecotravel.com/blog/medellin-colombias-sustainable-transport-capital/.

@b9079a2928b221307247ecba46d1ed0f:disqus We have personally ridden the MetroCable and it fits 6 people per car and there are a large number of cars. It's actually extremely efficient. Perhaps a trip to Medellin and a ride on the Metro Cable would help cure you from acrophobia Cheers!

The "cable cars" (sometimes called an "aerial tramway" or "teleferique") is quite eye-catching, but how many people can it move per hour? (full disclosure: I have a touch of acrophobia, and whould have my doubts about using an aerial tram)
