The rapid pace of urbanization presents huge challenges for cities. There is a growing awareness of topics such as environmental protection, inclusion or infrastructure as they affect residents, commuters and visitors just as much as decision-makers. As a major factor influencing economic growth and quality of life, the question of mobility calls for new concepts, in particular when it comes to traffic management.

Supplementary means of transport – such as ropeways – fulfill essential functions for innovative mobility concepts: relevant time saving in daily traffic, minimal use of land and resources, and the opportunity to integrate attractive additional offers for everyone, to name but a few.

The versatility, the variety and the possibilities that ropeways have to offer are illustrated by the ropeway network in La Paz. As a key part of a multimodal transport system, the ropeway stands for mobility in an independent dimension – The Next Level of Mobility.

Attraction

la_paz-Attraction

The ropeway is a means of transport and an attraction at the same time. In the city, passengers get to enjoy breathtaking views as they glide in comfort above the houses and streets below. A ropeway ride is a unique and unforgettable experience – because there’s so much to discover from the bird’s-eye perspective.

The ropeway is energy-efficient and effective – with no exhaust and no particulates. An electric motor quietly propels the cabins along the aerial rope. Yet the ropeway is not only environmentally friendly but also a means of transport for all – accessible and barrier-free. Surfing the net in the cabin? No problem. Passengers enjoy infotainment offers and free internet access on board.

The ropeway has a whole series of features and benefits that harmonize particularly well with other means of transport. It expands a city’s transport infrastructure – on a completely new transport level. Ropeway stations blend in perfectly with the urban landscape. Additional infrastructural amenities such as shops can be integrated into the station buildings.

The ropeway doesn’t lose any time. It travels continuously with no need for a timetable. Its transport capacity is impressive. Traffic jams, rush and congested streets are alien to it. The ropeway glides above it all and brings passengers – no matter whether it’s commuters, families or tourists – swiftly, punctually and reliably to their destination. That gives people more time for more important things.

Next level

la_paz-Next_level

The ropeway is by nature a high flyer. Its cabins take transport to a new level as they glide above the city. When integrated into the infrastructure as part of a well-conceived and meaningful concept, the ropeway is unhindered by other means of transport, yet nonetheless connected with them. It expands, links and fills a gap, meeting requirements where other means of transport reach their limits. That’s mobility taken to the next level.

Cost-effective

la_paz-Cost_effective

Investing in a ropeway is an investment in the future. It can be planned and built within a short time frame. Compared with other means of transport, the costs are manageable and also pay off in day-to-day operations. The small structural imprint in the urban environment as well as the minimal use of land and resources is already evident during construction and is proven after completion. A ropeway uses a small area to provide top performance.
