Rio’s Complexo do Alemão Teleférico Open For Business (We Think)

We’re not 100% certain about this, but it looks like Rio’s new urban gondola, the  Complexo do Alemão Teleférico is finally up and running.

The video we’re basing that assumption on is unfortunately unembeddable (let’s pretend that’s a word, okay), so you’ll have to follow the link here.

This is an exciting moment for Cable Propelled Transit. The robustness of this system, coupled with the profile of the London Cable Car should help push the technology into mainstream transit planning consciousness.

Weekly Roundup

A few highlights from around the world of Urban Gondola Transit and Cable Propelled Transit:

  • Maclean’s Magazine gives a quick write-up about the Complexo do Alemao Teleférico. Interestingly, we finally learn what the system price was: $74-million (presumably USD). That gives a per kilometer cost of roughly $22-million, which is fairly impressive considering it will be moving ~4,000 pphpd and has six total stations.
