The urban cable car industry continues to grow and make headways around the world. In October 2016 alone, 8 new systems were proposed. To properly reflect the status of Cable Propelled Transit systems, an update to the world urban gondola map has been made. — — PROPOSALS ADDED Banff, Alberta (October 2016) Boracay, Philippines (October...
Given the recent flurry of activity within the urban cable car sector, we took time to update the world map. For a larger version of map, click on the upper right hand corner of the map below or click here. — — PROPOSALS ADDED Albany, New York (July 2016) Busan, South Korea (May 2016) Chicago Skyline, Illinois (May...
— You know what they say, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Or in our case, the world’s first and most comprehensive urban gondola map (full map via Google) but that’s harder to rhyme. We’ve had a few requests the past week so we’ve gone ahead and made a few changes: Added two Algerian urban...
— To further enlighten those interested in urban cable cars systems, the Gondola Project has begun mapping them out (link 1 – Gondola Project; link 2 – Full Map via Google). First, we’ve organized existing urban systems. You can navigate/locate these two ways: Visually locate the system and/or Zoom into system’s location and find the alignment...
Today we’re happy to announce our new Sponsor’s Corner initiative on The Gondola Project. In tandem with our Essential Guide To Gondolas (thanks again, by the way, to everyone who has already purchased a copy), The Sponsor’s Corner is a strategy aimed at making this site sustainable for the foreseeable future — and believe us...
For the most part, The Gondola Project has been rather successful at getting people to notice and understand cable transit solutions. What we’ve not been to great at, however, is being able to explain some of the more nuanced technical and engineering related questions posed to us by our readers. Don’t get me wrong—Nick Chu...
The last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind at The Gondola Project and I thought it would be appropriate to update our regular readers on what’s been going on: A recent link to The Gondola Project on Reddit caused a sustained traffic spike on the site. Post-spike, our traffic is now double what it...
Back in November of 2009, I launched The Gondola Project as an experiment. Could I write a post-per-day for one straight year about the little-known application of cable cars in urban environments? And in doing so, could I help change the understanding of the technology to the point where people would (increasingly) accept it as...
Yesterday was the biggest day ever for readership on The Gondola Project. It seems someone picked up on the Mieders Sommerrodelbahn and tweeted it, which quickly led to a spike in traffic that continues currently. Granted, we probably would’ve liked people to land on our site through something a little more on-topic. I would be lying...
Despite it being the dog days of August and everyone seems to be on vacation, The Gondola Project is in the midst of its best month of traffic and readership ever. Our readership is rapidly approaching 10,000 unique visitors a month with over 25,000 page views per month. Not too bad for our small little...
