A quick look at some of the things that happened this week in the world of cable cars, urban gondolas and cable propelled transit:
- More details for a cable car in Port-au-Prince, Haiti have surfaced this week. The entire proposed 5 phase urban gondola network is reportedly an ambitious 30km — about 3x longer than today’s largest network — and will cost $200 million. POMA has indicated that international financiers have shown interest and may contribute upwards of $120 million.
- Perhaps hoping to mimic the success of other Malaysian cable cars like the Genting Skyway and Panorama Langkawi, the Pahang State government is now exploring the feasibility of building a gondola system linking Fraser Hills to Raub.
- WiWo Green, a German-based website dedicated to sustainability, gives its take on why and how urban cable cars are now transforming the way people move around in city.

Have you seen the gondola concept for Toronto that was submitted to the downtown Urban Design Competition?
