Cable Cars: Urban Transport of the Future

05 Feb.,2024

 

Projects for the implementation of cable cars in local public transport exist throughout Europe.

In Germany, the cable car in Koblenz is currently operating, others are being planned in Bonn and Stuttgart, and projects in Berlin and Cologne are being considered. They are intended to supplement and relieve the burden on local public transport in cities.

The current state of public transportation in German cities is inadequate: Although commuting by car causes congestion, noise and exhaust emissions, many people are forced to resort to their cars because public transportation is simply underdeveloped and quickly reaches its limits.

Major study

Where exactly the advantages of urban cable cars lie and how realistic their implementation is on a large scale has now been examined in the study “Urban cable cars in public transport. Innovative, sustainable – and a sensible approach?” by Pricewaterhouse Coopers Germany (PwC).

For this purpose, the characteristics, background and current trends of cable cars were examined, as well as the possibilities for implementing them. Finally, the experts from PwC summed up whether cable cars can actually serve as a solution approach.
