Carrier

This article doesn't define "carrier", "gondola", or "cabin", all confusingly used interchangeably. Which is best? Jafaucett (talk) 18:07, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Type of lift confused

Aerial tramway and gondola lift describe different types of aerial lifts. But this article says the structure is an "aerial tramway" but uses the term "gondola" as a type of lift, although "gondola" should only be used for the carrier/cabin/car. Very confusing.
