Yesterday, in collaboration with Centre City Talk, Steven Dale gave an presentation on urban gondolas and their applicability in Calgary, Canada. Steven was interviewed by CBC’s Dan Irvine on Calgary Eyeopener. If you’re interested in listening to the podcast and hear what Steven had to say, please click here (Urban gondola discussion starts at 15:08).
After the interview, CUP was featured on several major news publications. The following list is a compilation of some of the media’s reaction to the CPT (Cable Propelled Transit) idea:

As part of our journey to educate people about cable technology, if you have some time and see any misconceptions about urban gondolas in the comments section, we’d love to have to you pitch in and help correct any misunderstandings!
Thanks!

I tried putting in some basic explanations in the comments on the Herald’s website. Unfortunetly negativity is rampant and those pursuing a clearer thought process about gondola transit were shot down.
Tends to happen. Thanks for trying though!
