Gondola systems don't have the capacity that other transit systems have. Also, they are probably somewhat less reliable than other systems (ie. the high wind speed shut down), plus when something does go wrong, evacuating people is a giant task. Their main advantage is being able to ascend/decend steep grades and cross over rivers without significant extra cost.
