    GOALS
    Provide a seamless transition from Metro to Gondola, both
    in regards to wait time, physical connection, transfers and
    ticketing.
    A Gondola should supoort and complement other
    transportation initiatives, existing and planned.
    A Gondola should provide a redundancy in the transportation
    system as a multi-modal choice for commuters, residents and
    tourists.
