Urban cable cars are growing in popularity.
Right now, countries as diverse as India, Peru, France, and Madagascar are planning new cable car lines. And that’s in cities, not by castles or mountains. In urban areas, cable cars can connect centres with suburbs and relieve congestion on other modes.
The future is promising for cable cars – they avoid traffic, are relatively fast and affordable to construct, take up less space, and produce no local emissions.
To advance cable cars, UITP provides a global platform for operators, authorities, industry suppliers, and others. Because when we share insights, we can better tackle challenges and identify opportunities.
As a UITP Member, you can become eligible to join committees and working groups and collaborate with operators and authorities on advancing public transport.
