-Here's an interesting exception to all the discussion about types of drive and power sources above. This tiny cable car is the size of a single gondola car and powered by a hand crank. It connects hiking trails on either side of a river in the Netherlands. It appears to be a bit of a novelty and tourist attraction though it's likely had a lower impact on surrounding habit than a 22-meter bridge would have.
+Here's an interesting exception to all the discussion about types of drive and power sources above. This tiny cable car is the size of a single gondola car and powered by an onboard hand crank or one on either end. It connects hiking trails on either side of a river in the Netherlands. It seems to be more of a novelty and tourist attraction, less practical from an accessability standpoint than a bridge (for example, it'd be difficult to transport a wheelchair or stroller in the two-person car whereas they could use most bridge designs easily). It's possible it had a lower impact on surrounding habit than a 22-meter bridge would have.
