A cable car company is pitching gondolas as public transport solutions for a number of cities.
A case has been presented to multiple councils by Austrian company Doppelmayr Urban Transport Solutions.
Aerial cable cars are being touted as options for Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Queenstown.
Doppelmayr CEO Garreth Hayman says it would be good for getting people to and from airports.
"There is a cabin coming very frequently every few seconds, and there is completely level boarding there. It would be quite easy to use- like going on an escalator with your luggage."
