Carrier[edit]

This article doesn't define "carrier", "gondola", or "cabin", all confusingly used interchangeably. Which is best? Jafaucett (talk) 18:07, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Type of lift confused[edit]

Aerial tramway and gondola lift describe different types of aerial lifts. But this article says the structure is an "aerial tramway" but uses the term "gondola" as a type of lift, although "gondola" should only be used for the carrier/cabin/car. Very confusing.
