The Gondola Project’s WHITE CARD collection is growing rapidly and today we are pleased to announce that two more cards are now available. This brings the total to eight.

For a full index of available cards, check out the WHITE CARDS page here, or from the header under “Learn About Cable Transit”.

In case you missed the earlier posts (here and here and here), the WHITE CARD series is a collection of important CPT system profiles that we’ve created here at the Gondola Project. They are downloadable pdfs and have been released with a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 3.0 license. That way you can view them, save them, print them, and share them.

Even More White Cards

Last week we introduced the WHITE CARDS (here and here) and brought you the first four in a series of cable system profiles. But it doesn’t stop there. This week we’re rolling out even more WHITE CARDS, starting today with two new systems; the Caracas Metrocable and the Teleférico do Complexo do Alemão.

To see a full list of those available, check out the WHITE CARDS page here or from the header under “Learn About Cable Transit”.

More White Cards

The Gondola Project has been dedicated to exploring cable systems for a couple years now, and have amassed a large amount of information throughout this site. That is why yesterday we introduced our most recent CUP endeavor — WHITE CARDS, a new (and we hope more succinct) learning tool for cable.

Devised from the idea of a White Paper, an in depth research document often used to explain a technology or analyze policy, the WHITE CARD is meant to be a quick introduction and analysis for the various CPT systems. Since they’ve been published under Creative Commons, with a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 3.0 license, they can be downloaded, emailed, printed, etc, (just not bought, sold, changed or cut/copied).

That being said, in today’s news we are releasing the second pair of WHITE CARDS from our Major CPT Systems series. You can find them and the full list of available cards here, or from the “Learn About Cable” menu in the header. There are only a handful now, but over the next few weeks we will be growing and expanding the list.

Introducing White Cards

Here at the Gondola Project we’ve been busy producing what we’re calling WHITE CARDS — a new learning tool for those interested in Cable Propelled Transit. They’re basically a quick-read version of a white paper:

Sample White Card by CUP Projects.

The series kicks off with cards on Major CPT Systems. Each card provides basic information on the system (with images and stats), our brief analysis of the installation, and other related Gondola Project posts and pages.

The first two WHITE CARDS are now available online. You can find them on the WHITE CARDS Page or in the drop down menu, under “Learn About Cable” in the header.

All White Cards are being released with a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 3.0 license. For those unaware of what means:

  • You can download, email, print, share and distribute the White Cards as much as you wish so long as:
  • You do not make money from the distribution and sharing of the White Cards.
  • You do not change anything in the White Cards.
  • You do not “cut-and-paste” from the White Cards.

Otherwise, feel free to share them in whatever form you like. Enjoy!
