Is it feasible for a city built on hills to have rail urban transport?
Kigali, Rwanda as an example

San Francisco is one of the better rail transit cities in the U.S. with cable cars, streetcars, metro rail and heavy rail. Pittsburgh is another hilly city that once had a vast network of streetcars and still retains some LRV lines.

Dubuque is flatter than a dick but there is a line of bluffs separating the downtown from the newer part. Some rich guy built half his house at the top and half at the base, connected by a cable car and now anyone can ride it for a dollar. You can also bring your bike.

São Paulo is quite hilly, some lines are built in the crests (following the natural contour of the city), others are built with tunnels and viaducts
