Who invented the cable car?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The first "true" cable car was probably invented in London, England in around 1860. This is because the first cable-operated railway was the London and Blackwall Railway. It used ropes, though, and they didn't have sufficient strength to keep the line in operation. Historians freely admit that the idea had been around for some time. It was just that the technology wouldn't support it. The cable car is not difficult to "invent" because it is similar to many other multiple passenger vehicles. There were a number of horse-drawn carriages (dating well before 1860) that were quite large, and on the order of the size of a cable car. It was the "cable" part that needed technological innovation to bring it into reality.

What is the difference between urban transit and metro rail?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Urban transit is any transportation going through an urban (very large city, like New York and Los Angeles) area, while a metro rail is a train-like vehicle that runs through large cities down a certain path. Nearly all metro rail systems use steel wheels running on steel rails, but some use fixed concrete guideways and rubber tires. Power can be supplied from an overhead wire or a third rail.

How do I get from LaSalle Street Metra to Lincoln Park Zoo via public transportation?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I am assuming that by "owntown metra station" you mean "Ogilvie Transporation center". This is the main metra station. It's only about a block away. Inside Ogilvie, go to the Madison st main entrance. Exit and turn left on Madison st. Walk to the end of the block (Canal St) and Union station is right across Madison st. at the intersection of Madison & Canal. Good Luck!

Yes. There is a light metro system called SkyTrain. Despite its name, the SkyTrain does have a few underground stations, but runs mostly on tracks elevated above old railway lines and streets. In 2010, the Canada Line was completed, linking Downtown Vancouver to Richmond, BC (including Vancouver International Airport).
