However, the ferry was more of a gondola suspended above the river by steel cables. It was cheaper to build than an actual bridge and it could continue to operate while a ferry could not, such as during high water or icy conditions. The concept never gained significant mainstream adoption because of all of the practical reasons one could imagine. Maybe two dozen transporter bridges <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Transporter_bridge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ever went into operation<\/a> during their heyday a few years on either side of 1900.
