Opinions on cable-car public transit?

I've heard some arguments in their favour, especially for more mountainous geographies. For example, these sources from the world bank: https://blogs.worldbank.org/latinamerica/cable-cars-economically-viable-public-transport-system-amlat-cities

Colombia's metrocable is an oft cited example. Does anyone know of any analyses of its efficacy, or at least some personal anecdotes of how it operated compared to other forms of public transit?
