- The Bagmati Province in Nepal is set to construct ropeway systems to ease traffic. The Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Development has begun studies for constructing ropeway systems in Indrasarowar of Makawanpur, Gosaikunda of Rasuwa, and Dolakha. The study will also evaluate rebuilding the 102-year-old Hetauda-Kathmandu ropeway.
- A West Seattle group is promoting a three-mile gondola system linking south downtown and West Seattle. They are hoping Sound Transit will pursue this transportation option rather than extending light rail to West Seattle. The group identifies advantages like substantially lower costs and quicker construction time.
- It appears the Zagreb Cable Car inauguration will be delayed. The completion is believed to be delayed until January 3rd because a technical inspection is required to receive the permits to run the system and the holiday season caused delays. It is suspected that there are repairs that will need to be completed before opening such as reinforcing the steel roof structures. The costs for the cable car have reached 710 million kuna (approx. $115 million USD).
