The Wire

A proposal by frog design to update existing urban transportation in Austin, Texas with aerial ropeways.

[The Wire @wireaustin]

Aerial ropeways have been used for cargo transport since medieval times.

Georgetown might not get a Metro stop. It might get gondolas http://t.co/qIwx1WkEuB http://t.co/357UjEaLSS via @CurbedDC. @ReactionHousing

Yes! RT @elonmusk: Will be building a Hyperloop test track for companies and student teams to test out their pods. Most likely in Texas.

[The Wire @wireaustin]

Sorry about the election @letsgoatx. The Wire could run the same path as the rail for only 30% the costs. Now do we still seem that crazy?

[The Wire @wireaustin]

Seems like a true multi-modal transportation solution @letsgoatx would include more than lots of road construction + 3 flavors of rail.

Prop 1 fact: "Prop 1 will cost the average household less than $20 per month in 2020". #gulp #railisexpensive

Barcelona, @EdIreson.

[The Wire @wireaustin]

Who says gondolas only run high up in the air? Here's @mcdanyel checking gearing while skimming just above ground.

[The Wire @wireaustin]

Here is @mcdanyel riding gondolas in Barcelona for research. Guess what? Works great.

.@TheBrewAndBrew @rdmurphy @OnMyBlockATX we just need to agree that hat we really need is @wireaustin in this town. Solve transport weirdly.

[The Wire @wireaustin]

All for subway @laura_sherman but seriously doubt the 1/10th costs to dig under Austin. Over or under are better than "more" on the surface.

[austinbloggy.bsky.social @AustinBloggy]

You guys, @wireaustin is blowing my mind. We NEED mass transit that is separate from our congested roadways.

@niranbabalola @steboknapp Not ignoring. Portland is different tech. Trams are completely different from high speed detachable gondolas.

[The Wire @wireaustin]

Yes they do @steboknapp @TheDirectTransf. Portland Tram isn't what we are talking about w/ the Wire. Check this out: http://t.co/TcnAfAZgWs

hey @wireaustin @mcdanyel @jaredrawk check it. http://t.co/m9Z2waSG37

[The Wire @wireaustin]

@mdahmus It does both raised and grade stops. Plus it can also integrate with existing buildings.
