Whether cable car, city bus or road: public transport and infrastructure have to be financed. Rather than stiff taxes, fees and ticketing models, mobility pricing can be a solution that is fit for the future, improving more than merely the financial position of the operators.

What is true for bicycle chains and roller bearings also applies to the heavily strained cables of urban and Alpine cable cars. Effective preservation protects the wire cable from corrosion, reduces internal friction and thus makes it more durable. With the automated cable oiler and the right oil, NK-A from ELASKON, this is possible even in ongoing operation. This is proven in the example of the “PisaMover” MiniMetro from LEITNER in Pisa.

Correct relubrication throughout everyday transport – that is the motto for urban cable cars. Swiss lubricant manufacturer MOTOREX highlights the points that matter in practice.

Mobility is changing and many different measures promise to put city-centre traffic on the right track. Whilst experts know that there cannot be one solution to all the problems, we need first to find our way through the jungle of options. One of these steps is explained briefly here.

Cable cars are on the rise. More and more cities are incorporating the cable-drawn transport system into their transport planning. Yet, because the cable car is new to the urban sphere, there is still a lack of key interconnections. Specialist trade fair with integrated congress CABLE CAR WORLD hopes to tackle precisely this issue and to bring together a broad range of stakeholders and decision-makers from politics, administration, planning, science, economics and urban society in Essen, and so to achieve widespread knowledge sharing. On 7th and 8th February 2022 at Essen exhibition centre, it will therefore be all about the subject of the cable car.
