Aerial Gondolas
urban transportation systems installed worldwide		  
   
Aerial cable systems have been around for more than 60 years with over 15,000 installations worldwide.
Most of the existing aerial cable systems are used in alpine ski operations or in remote regions. Forward thinking cities are now using aerial cable systems in urban installations - with great success. Listed below are 6 examples of urban aerial gondola installations.

    The futuristic architecture of Eastern Lisbon complements that of the city's old quarters. Most of it was built for Expo 98, the World Fair that took place in Portugal's capital between May and September of 1998. The entire area at the eastern end of the city's waterfront was rebuilt for the event. Other attractions include a modern casino, water gardens, a viewing tower, a marina, and a number of bars and restaurants with outdoor seating overlooking one of the world's longest bridges.
     
       
             
       
             
  Medellin Colombia
Medellin MetroCable

    Won over by what cable transport has to offer, the city of Medellin has opted for this means of transport. Running 20 hours/day, 355 days/year, 99.8% availability, 15 million passengers transported in 2005, operating 7000 hours a year. These few figures outline the exceptional results of Medellin’s first MetroCable line since it came into service in 2004. The lift was specially designed for urban transport and was built to extend the city transport network of Colombia’s second-largest city, serving Santo Domingo, a remote, working-class district. A second system, called Metro Cable 2, was installed in 2007 and is also performing extremely well.

    The Singapore Gondola provides an aerial link from Mount Faber on the main island of Singapore to the resort island of Sentosa across the Keppel Harbour. Opened on 15 February 1974, it was the first aerial ropeway system in the world to span a harbour. The system currently consists of 81 cabins, suspended at least 60 metres above the sea, and about 61 m between each cabin (or one cabin per 15 to 21 seconds). Each cabin can carry a maximum of 6 adult passengers, while the whole system can support 1400 passengers per hour either way.
