In English, "乘索道" is typically translated to "cable car" or "cable tramway." The term "cable car" comes from the fact that these transportation systems use cables to move cars or cabins along a fixed track. Some example sentences and translations are:

I rode the cable car to the top of the mountain. (我坐索道登上了山顶。)

The cable car system in San Francisco is a popular tourist attraction. (旧金山的索道系统是一个很受欢迎的旅游景点。)

The cable car operator pulled the lever to start the ascent. (索道操作员拉动手柄启动上升。)
