We have a cable car here in Colombia too, but the experience inside is unsettling, to say the least. I didn't enjoy the ride; I felt a bit cooped up, perhaps because there were children constantly screaming. Sofía, my partner, says I’m too easily influenced; she might be right, but the fact remains that it saves time.
I understand your feeling of being cooped up in a cable car, and with children screaming It is not very pleasant. I guess some are more comfortable in a cable car than others, but sometimes when you have to take it to your destination, you have to do it.
I did it once and that was quite enough. 😊
