A new milestone has been reached by the world’s largest network of urban gondolas in La Paz-El Alto, Bolivia. Since the Red Line (Spanish: Línea Roja) was first built in 2014 by Doppelmayr, ropeway technology has revolutionized city transport in the two Bolivian cities.
Mi Teleférico, the state company in charge of the projects, announced that its 100th million passenger was transported on November 16, 2017. Five urban gondola lines, spread over 20 stations and totalling 17.6km, have opened in less than four years. Five additional systems are currently under construction and once complete, the entire network will reach nearly 34km.
Doppelmayr congratulates Mi Teleférico for achieving such spectacular results in such a short period of time. By the end of 2018, two more urban gondola systems, the White Line (Spanish: Línea Blanca) and the Sky Blue (Spanish: Línea Celeste) are planned to enter commercial service.
