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

More details for a cable car in Port-au-Prince, Haiti have surfaced this week. The entire proposed 5 phase urban gondola network is reportedly an ambitious 30km — about 3x longer than today’s largest network — and will cost $200 million. POMA has indicated that international financiers have shown interest and may contribute upwards of $120 million.

Perhaps hoping to mimic the success of other Malaysian cable cars like the Genting Skyway and Panorama Langkawi, the Pahang State government is now exploring the feasibility of building a gondola system linking Fraser Hills to Raub.

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

News out of Haiti suggests that Port-au-Prince may soon consider the implementation of a 5 phase cable car system. Poma proposed a Metrocable network to country’s Ministry of Economy and Finance last week.

The urban transport authority in Lyon (France), SYTRAL, has voted in favour of studying a potential urban cable car system connecting sites such as Parc Mirabel Jonage, Line T3 and Chaplin Decines school.

The Portland Aerial Tram is now confronted with a challenge that many public transit agencies probably wish they had. After 7 years of operations, the system is nearly reaching its capacity during rush hour operations. Alternative transport solutions are being developed to address this problem.

Last week we brought you news of a cable car tender in Potosi, Bolivia. Users on Skyscrapercity are now shedding more light on its potential alignment.
