In Madagascar, the cable car project in the capital Antananarivo has been approved by the National Office for the Environment (ONE).
The infrastructure, which is intended to relieve traffic in the archipelago‘s capital, has sparked controversy among residents and environmentalists. The first line, called the „Red Line,“ will have 4 stations and 19 pylons. It is 9.21 km long and will connect Anosy and Ambatobe in 30 minutes.
The second line, the „Yellow Line“, will connect Anosy and Ambanidia in 10 minutes over a distance of 2.60 km. In total, the ropeway is expected to carry 40,000 passengers per day.
