 === Ropeways in rural areas ===
-Ropeways already operate in rural areas around the world, usually providing access to communities which would otherwise be isolated by rough terrain. In a more solarpunk future, where an extensive network of public transit options interconnects even small villages, ropeways could make sense in situations where extending a full train line to service a community is too costly, or where terrain or the [[exurbs_in_the_solarpunk_transition|degradation of existing roads]] makes bus service impractical. Ropeways can climb mountains and cross rivers, lakes, wetlands, and even forests (in some configurations, they may still need access trails for maintenance and rescue) with a minimal impact on the underlying habitats. They also move very quietly as the drive is at one end of the line, and is likely running on an electric motor.
