With its topography and elevation differences of 350 metres, Stuttgart is practically made for a cable car system. As part of public transport, cable cars can be an efficient and environmentally friendly means of transport. However, we should focus on cable car projects with a positive cost-benefit ratio. That is why we should not pursue the cable car project between Stuttgart-Vaihingen and the Eiermann Campus any further, but should examine the feasibility of the cable car project proposed between Pragsattel and the Robert Bosch Hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-2 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\"; position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;z-index:-1;background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(), to())!important;background: -webkit-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -moz-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -ms-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -o-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The German city of Stuttgart is examining a possible cable car route to the Robert Bosch Hospital.
