• Kashi Ropeway to be the first urban ropeway system in India. The new system will travel 3.85 kilometers from Varanasi Junction Railway station to Gadaulia and will have 5 stations total. When completed, the gondola will have 153 ten-passenger cabins, and commute time between the two points will decrease from 45 minutes down to 16 minutes. The 30 towers will be on both government, institutional, and private land.
• Sunrise Gondola gains support through public outreach in Park City, Utah. The new gondola would carry passengers to the resort and would assist Canyons Village contributing to the fee-free public transit operation.

The total project budget is estimated to be $27 million. The plan is for the new Sunrise Gondola to be in operation by the 2025-2026 ski season. See a related weekly roundup here.
