The disclosure relates to a transportation system for urban mass transit that employs an array of narrow, elevated towers supporting stationary electrified cables. Self-propelled gondolas equipped with electric motors and regenerative braking systems traverse these cables, transporting passengers between various ground-level stations. The gondolas are capable of attaching to and detaching from the cables via an automated mechanism controlled by an onboard computer. The system is modular, allowing for scalable adaptation to urban environments and incorporates solar panels for energy generation. The system's design minimizes urban land use, offering an environmentally conscious alternative to traditional mass transit systems.
