Colombian cities continues to make headways in the field of urban gondola transport. This week, the MIO Cable in Cali, Colombia (pop: 2.3 million) is scheduled to begin operations on September 18. And thanks to the power of Youtube, you can now personally (well, at least virtually) take part in its maiden voyage by clicking the video above.
The 2km system, built by LEITNER Ropeways, will provide much needed transit service to the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, Comuna 20 by reducing travel times from 30 minutes down to less than 10 minutes. The cable car has a capacity of 2,000 passengers per hour and is expected to transport 7,000 daily riders.
From September 18 to October 9, passengers will be able to hop aboard for free.
