Who says it isn't? It sure felt like one when I travelled on it! It uses gondolas carried on cables from the top of Mount Faber via a tower at the harbour and across to Sentosa Island. In what sense is that not an aerial tramway?????? Lee M 18:44, 22 Aug 2003 (UTC)

I've moved the extensive list of Swiss trams to List of aerial tramways in Switzerland - the list was extensive, comprehensive, and very very long for a non-list page. It's linked to under the Switzerland heading. Important or separately notable Swiss trams are still on the main page. --ABQCat 18:42, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Tochal tele-cabin in Iran is a gondola lift, not an aerial tramway.
This was apparently the longest cable car in the world. Does anyone know whether it was an aerial tramway or a gondola life? Either way, it should be included in the relevant article. Warofdreams 18:36, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

There is a ropeway in Norsjö, Sweden which was the world's longest when it was completed in 1943. It was used for transport of ore. today it is a tourist attraction where part of the ropeway (13 kilometres) is used for tourists. Should this be mentioned in this article, or better somewhere else? link with more info, mostly in SwedishAEriksson 09:58, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
As of 2017, the passenger traffic has stopped. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.90.251.82 (talk) 19:38, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
According to the definition the Norsjö is not an arial tramway. It has loose gondolas drawn with a cable on an carrier cable. I do not know if the sorry remains has many pulling cables or only one, the original had many, and many loading and turning stations along the line, was built for the carriage of ore (mainly copper and zink with a hefty proportion of gold impurities.
In my humble opinion it is the definition that is wrong.Seniorsag 21:04, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Heights of Abraham is listed on both this article, and the gondola lift article. If someone knows which it is, please remove it from the incorrect list (and correct the Heights of Abraham article as necessary). --Vclaw 12:45, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

For the 2005September 9 accident in Sölden, Austria: I hiked by the site on 2005September 13 and was shown by passing professional guides which lift was struck by a small building part carried by helicopter. It looked like a gondola lift to me. I found online video and more in-depth reporting than CNN (which called it a cable car) clearly showing a gondola.
What's the conventional wisdom here? Should this incident be moved to the gondola article? — EncMstr 19:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone know when the first aerial tramways were built? I was surprised not to find this information in this article. -- Evertype·✆ 08:32, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The future section should not be in this Aerial Tramway Wiki article as the proposed public transport developments are Gondola Lifts - not Aerial Tramways. It is a small but very important distinction. nex416 00:53, 03 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have NEVER heard a cable car referred to as an aerial tramway in my life here in the US. Its always been cable car wherever I go. And Ive been on quite a few of them. It might be fine as a technical name, but it is definitely incorrect as a US term. I think you can safely go on the street in any city in the US and ask what an aerial tramway is and you will get puzzled looks and maybe people will guess that you mean cable car.--Metallurgist (talk) 22:07, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
For example: "35 km (22 mi) 1906–1927 Chilecito – Mina La Mejicana, Argentina (34.3 km or 21.3 mi and 0.86 km or 0.53 mi branch)."
What is the 34.3km measurement? Is that the more accurate measurement and 35km is just the approximation? If so, the information would be briefer if we just used one of them.
What is the .86km measurement? It says "branch" but does not explain what that means.

The lead sentence is this: "An aerial tramway, sky tram, cable car, ropewayoraerial tram is a type of aerial lift which uses one or two stationary ropes for support while a third moving rope provides propulsion.[1]"
References
In contrast, the cited source says that these terms are not synonymous:『Aerial Tram and Cable Car are not synonyms for the same technology. And every time they’re used as synonyms, it only complicates matters for people who are actually trying to understand the technology.』 Whether the cited source is entirely correct is another matter, about which I have no idea. In any event, if the present lead sentence is correct that "aerial tramway" and "cable car" are synonymous (despite what the cited source says), then there should not be two separate Wikipedia articles for them.Anythingyouwant (talk) 16:50, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The attached photograph shows a single (loop) cable lift: the cars don't have wheels and don't run on stationary cables - probably shouldn't be on this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laos (talk • contribs) 22:11, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Osarius: Unfortunately, I've had to revert your move of Aerial cablecar, as it's potentially controversial. Per WP:RMUM, a page can be moved without discussion if, among other things, There has been no discussion (especially no recent discussion) about the title of the page that expressed any objection to a new title; and it seems unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree with the move.
There is no single name for this, sadly. I have heard this subject be called, among other things, an aerial tram; a cable car (which can be confused with a cable car (railway)); a gondola; and even an aerial lift. Although there indeed hasn't been any recent discussion on this topic, the move may be controversial, since this is a vital article and receives high numbers of views.
At this point, I think an RM discussion would probably be the best option forward. Epicgenius (talk) 14:35, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
