A quick look at some of the things that happened this week in the world of urban gondolas, cable cars and cable propelled transit:
Five groups have responded to the Téléphérique de Brest (Urban Gondola) tender. The proposed budget is reportedly €18 million and the system is scheduled for completion by 2016.
- The tiny pacific island of American Samoa once had a cable car, that is until a military plane severed the line during an exhibition. While the system has been out of commission since the 1980s, the governor is now looking to rebuild the cable car.
