From December 13, cabins will begin carrying passengers across Limeil-Brévannes in Val-de-Marne, a suburb long served only by buses. The 4.5-kilometre route, with five stations, will take just 18 minutes end to end. Residents say they are eager to try the quiet, comfortable cabins.

This is really cool! The common belief I've seen is that urban ropeways make the most sense over steep terrain in dense cities, but this appears to prove they can be practical when neither of those conditions is true!

The article claims that it is dense, but I also don't really see that in the video. But such ropeways are probably a lot less disruptive to urban forests and certainly much cheaper to build than something under ground.
