- The development company Sun Group is shifting their Vietnam efforts due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Once COIVD-19 is no longer a threat, a 3S cable car route is planned to open in Ha Long . Also to help boost tourism in Vietnam, an additional cable car route is being planned in Danang.
- A housing developer in West Vancouver, Canada is proposing an aerial tram as part of their required community amenity contribution. The preliminary plan for the 2 km aerial tram is to connect the Marine Drive to the Cypress lookout, helping with existing transportation challenges in the area as well as serving the residents of more than 600 proposed new units. At a public meeting, residents in the area seemed welcoming of the idea for a new transit mode in their community.
