Like most people, we love infographics. But we really enjoy a good visual breakdown of transit capabilities, such as this collection of images from around the world. So when we came across the above graphic on Doppelmayr’s Facebook page, we thought it would be worth sharing.

How does the trend of increased ridership match up against the local gas prices in Toronto?
Stuck between budget cuts and politics no one can ignore the increase in both fuel costs and public transit ridership. So the question is, how many riders will it take to shift attention over to public transit funding, infrastructure and policy?

A while ago, I introduced you to a young Designer and Mechanical Engineer named Julia Padvoiskis. One of Julia’s passions is explaining things simply and clearly through images. As such, her and I have decided to experiment with a new Gondola Project feature: The Infograph. We’re calling it the Cablegraph.
Every week or so, Julia’s going to put together a new one helping to explain, describe or enlighten another concept, feature or stat about cable transit around the world. As this is a new idea for us, please give us your comments so we can improve on them in the future. Or, if there’s a specific idea you want cablegraphed (let’s just pretend that’s a word), send us those as well.
Here’s the first one:
