As for turning down the speed that would kind of defeat the purpose wouldn't it? That would be like reducing skytrain capacity by slowing down the trains.

Still think this thing will be dependent on safety requirements, could see CUPE trying to mandate an attendant per cabin. This is a different beast then unmanned skytrain cars. What does Portland do?
There is a tram attendant... but they only have two vehicles shuttling people up and down the hill. It's quite a different scenario with this project.
