In October 2025, “Angelo” began operations – the first urban cable car in Ajaccio, the capital of Corsica. For POMA, however, the work does not end there; the French manufacturer is taking over the operation and maintenance of the system for the next ten years. This “all-inclusive“ package serves as a model for future urban ropeway projects.

Preparations for a genuine mobility revolution are currently underway in Queenstown, on New Zealand’s South Island. In a competitive tender process that began in May 2025, LEITNER has now been officially selected to build Oceania’s first urban ropeway.

Südtiroler Transportstrukturen AG (STA) and the South Tyrolean ropeway manufacturer LEITNER have signed the contract for the construction of the Bolzano-Jenesien ropeway. The executive project will be drafted this spring, and construction is expected to begin in the second half of the year.

Urban areas worldwide face growing mobility challenges. In this context, cable car systems are increasingly evolving into essential components of modern public transportation concepts. With CITY CABLE CAR SOLUTIONS, an international industry platform has emerged that highlights precisely this potential.

In Fernando de la Mora (Paraguay), a city council candidate has proposed a cable car as a solution to the city’s traffic problems. According to the politician, the cable car is the most cost-effective option compared to the suburban train or Metrobus. How much could the project cost?

In Panama City, the bidding process is underway for the country’s first urban cable car. It is expected to help address traffic problems in the Panamá and San Miguelito districts. Here are the details of the project.
