Is there any way to change the orientation of the two cable car buildings?

Seems to me like they are fixed with regards to their cable car outlets, with the End-of-Line building only allowing for a connection facing away the road (to which it is aligned) and the normal cable car stop only allowing for connections parallel to the road.
That is a rather big limitation, considering that cable lines only can change their direction by a rather small angle ... and I don't see a reason why we shoudn't be allowed to, for example, have our cable car end stop with an entry/exit parallel to a street.

You can. Both cable car buildings have the same footprint and cost. What is the hold up?

Well, my point is that I would like to use the vable car buidings in mmore versatile ways (if possible).
Using an "End-of-line"-Stop parallel to the roads (and not having to improvise with a normal stop) is just one example ...
another example would be, to have the building aligned at 45° to the road (so that the cable track can be aligned bettr to the direction in which it shoul go).

At the moment you sometimes have to put your cable tracks into some awkward wide curves in order to align them with their destination stop (or from their starter stop to their destined direction) which culd be avoided if we had some flexibility with the orientation of said stops.
(a problem that doesn't exist to this degree with any of the other tracks based modes of mass transportation (except rail, but they have huge stations, so it is understandable that there is 't so much freedom to rotate them))

At crossroads you can choose your angle.

I have more difficulties with the point that you have to connect two of the stations in one go for the service to start.
