pedestrian ropeway

 Hang on to the rope. PRT without pods.

Personal Rapid Transportation without any pods. Just dagnling ropes that you can hang onto. Maybe a seat too. You can attach your traveling harness to it, which will become standard in large cities. You can attach your suitcase and run alongside it, or just connect to an adjacent rope.

A paid rope will take you into the fast lane.

       This could be great.
It could go over things, although you might want safety nets underneath.		   

       I want it to be known locally as the spideyride, or something silly like that.   

       Sometimes you get things a bit like this at ski-resorts, to pull the skiers up a hill, so at least the tech isn't an issue.

       I foresee peril despite many posted cautions and warnings as riders begin playing with their cell phones, forgetting that they must hang on or be jostled off onto the tarmac, resulting in injuries and death.   

       Have a bun.

       Unless you hang from your feet, you are not technically a pedestrian while using this device.   

       Also I do knot know how to dagnle a rope.

       It's a knack.
