WHAT IS MISSING FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF URBAN CABLE CARS IN EUROPE?
Many transport experts regard the system of urban cable cars as the solution to the growing transport problem. With rapid availability, a small structural footprint and an environmentally friendly drive, the system offers everything that is required of transport systems today. Yet, despite all these advantages, the concept of the cable car is having difficulty winning people over from familiar, tried and tested systems such as bus and rail, especially in Europe. What would it take to establish the cable car as a transport system?
Smart urban mobility- A BUZZWORD? OR IS IT REALLY COMING?
So-called smart mobility crops up in conversation time and again, but what does it mean and how can this approach revolutionise transport as we know it?
That‘s what a cable car in the city can do!
Especially in cities, public transport has to run smoothly. Urbanization means that more and more people have to be transported. It should be possible to reach the routes as directly as possible, despite the logistical optimization, most passengers do not want to pass on the necessary comfort. An urban cable car can solve many of these and other urban transport problems.
Becoming digitally sustainable
Digitalisation can be employed as a lever to improve sustainability: researcher Christian Marheine from the University of St Gallen is convinced. He proves this with facts, figures and examples.

How price-sensitive are skiers?
The company Smart Pricer has conducted price sensitivity analyses among more than 10,000 customers of mountain railroads in Austria and Switzerland - with exciting results.
Why cable cars belong in the urban sphere
Transport is being reimagined. With concepts such as e-cars and car-free cities, a trend away from individual transport and towards more sustainable alternatives is emerging. One of these alternatives could be the cable car, as several points indicate that the cable car would bring great value added in urban mobility.
