Trieste is receiving significant funding of 48.7 million euros from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) for the construction of a new cable car.

The connection between Porto Vecchio and the Karst is expected to alleviate city traffic, promote tourism, and reduce CO2 emissions.

Investment for the future of urban mobility

The project is supported by the Italian government and the Ministry of Infrastructure. It is considered groundbreaking for public transport in the region and could serve as a model for other cities. The cable car is intended to promote eco-friendly mobility and position Trieste as a progressive city.

Protests against the cable car project

Despite the anticipated benefits, there is also opposition. Some citizens and environmental groups have protested against the cable car project, especially due to concerns about its impact on the environment and urban space.

Critics fear that the cable car will undermine the city’s historic charm and lead to urban sprawl. It remains to be seen how the political and social discussions surrounding the project will evolve.

Future prospects for Trieste

The cable car could transform Trieste into a more modern, eco-friendly city. The investment is seen as a step towards more sustainable urban mobility, attracting both residents and tourists.

In the coming years, it will become clear whether the project will achieve the expected success and overcome the resistance from critics.
