A quick look at some of the things that happened this week in the world of cable cars, urban gondolas, and cable propelled transit:

• Proving that this whole urban gondola thing has been going on for a while, Reuters presents us with photos of the Georgian city of Chiatura’s 16 remaining Soviet-era cable cars. 

• Governor Fashola of Lagos state preclaims that the Lagos is “on the verge of completion” — likely meaning that the system is on the verge of breaking ground.

• Controversy in Brazil over the existing Alemao cable car and the coming Rocinha cable car.

• The Huffington Post calls a Miami mayoral candidate’s urban gondola idea “pretty rad.”
