- The City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks revealed four potential gondola routes to connect to the Hollywood sign. The first three routes would be 12 to 13-minute rides while the 4th route is approximately half the length and would be a 6-minute ride. All routes have their pro’s and con’s and the city wants to know what you think via an online survey or during a virtual open house on September 3rd.
- TransLink is seeking public feedback for three route options for the Burnaby Mountain Gondola in Canada. All three routes have similar ridership potential because the travel times are substantially more competitive to the existing bus service. The routes are all slightly different, but all connect the rail system to the SFU campus. The gondola is designed to be a 3S and will have the capacity to move at least 3,000 people per hour per direction (pphpd). The Gondola Project has been following the project for a while now.

- India’s longest river ropeway shut down two days after the inauguration due to technical issues. The system halted to a stop on August 23. According to the project manager, MK Baig, the issue was electrical fluctuations that caused damage to the motor.
- An architecture graduate from Strathclyde University unveiled her design proposal for a cable car in Glasgow, Scotland. The objective of implementing a cable car into the city is to provide a sustainable transit alternative that can connect to the failing transit network in place. Train and bus services to the city center are unreliable and have limited service hours.
