A quick look at some of the things that happened this week in the world of cable cars, urban gondolas, and cable propelled transit:

  • Dubbed as the largest urban ropeway on the Eurasian continent, the Yenimahalle – Şentepe Teleferik in Ankara (Turkey) is the country’s first public transit cable car. LEITNER Ropeways was responsible for implementing this 4-station, 3.2km system. The cable car is expected to complete testing in the next week and officially open for public consumption.

Weekly Roundup: New Urban Gondola for Ankara, Turkey

  • By 2014, Ankara will soon be home to another urban gondola. This 3.2km system will have 106 cabins with a capacity of 2,400 pphpd. Once opened, it will serve the Şentepe neighbourhood and will be located near Yenimahalle metro station. Based on renderings, the stations may be one of the most architecturally stunning urban CPT lines yet.
  • Reports suggest that the La Paz Cable Car system will be ready for passenger usage starting in the first quarter of 2014. It is not entirely clear at this time which of the 3 lines will be operational first. However, it seems that locations for some towers have yet to be finalized and officials are still looking to find the appropriate solutions to minimize impact on traffic and land use.

Another Urban Gondola? Keçiören Teleferik in Ankara, Turkey

One of the great things about blogging on the Gondola Project is that you never stop learning. And this time, thanks to one of our long time followers, Giorgio, we’ve been informed about another urban gondola that’s allegedly been in operations since 2007.

This system is called the Ankara-Keçiören Teleferik or simply the Keçiören Teleferik.

We’ve tried to do a quick google search on this system but due to time constraints and a language barrier, we’ve only been able to find out very little. What we do know is that the system is reportedly 1.6km in length, has a capacity of 1200 pph, and runs at a max speed of 5 m/s.

If anyone has anymore information about this CPT line, we would love to hear about it. In the meantime, here are some more pictures of the system in action.
