Cable cars are limited in terms of size and weight, plus speed, and can thus only carry a limited capacity of people. That's why you only ever see them used for crossing large height differences. They can't serve as the backbone of a mass transit system.
Elevated rail such as
>>1079790 is great because it has its own right of way and huge capacity. It needs lots of room, is expensive and obstructs the view though. Monorail such as
>>1079786 is great because it also has its own, very narrow, right of way, similar speed and capacity to elevated rail, but switching is very difficult.
