As transportation/urban planners, we often look at an assortment of statistics (i.e. ridership, availability, revenue miles etc) to determine whether a transit system has been a success (or not).
But no matter how hard you analyze these numbers, a music video that was made specifically about your transit system; and one that has been watched over 2,000 times in just a few months, is probably as good a measurement of success as anything else.
If this song were to teach us anything, it’s that the new urban cable cars in La Paz means a lot to locals and the city.
In fact, in other cable car music video-related news — in case you ever wanted to shoot your own cable car video, it’s probably best to ask for permission first or you might find yourself sparking some local headlines as a Peruvian songstress recently did.
