According to the newspaper, Clifton Cable Company, which has been established specifically for the purpose, wants to build the cable car for commuters and tourists. As news portal Bristol 24\/7 writes, the company consists of transport planners, property experts and architects. <\/p>\n<p>Founders David Rhodes, James Broome and Richard White are convinced that the cable car could be an environmentally friendly and moreover affordable alternative to a metro system, which is likewise being discussed. Whereas the costs of the metro are estimated four billion pounds sterling, the costs of the cable car are quoted at 40 to 50 million. News portal Bristol 24\/7 even estimates the investment cost at only 15 to 20 million pounds. <\/p>\n<p>It is crazy that transport solutions are quickly sought underground rather than up in the air, White emphasises to the Bristol Post: \u201cFor developing cities like Medell\u00edn in Colombia, cable cars have been the easiest, lightest-touch solution.\u201d According to Bristol 24\/7, the instigators are already in discussions with cable car manufacturer POMA, which has assured them that a cable car would be suitable for Bristol.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"cbp-headline cbp-98673389\"><div class=\"custom-si is-underline text-left\"><H1>Construction in two phases <\/H1><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p>Want to extend the cable car to Temple Meads railway station. Additional stops would be created in the areas of Redcliffe village, Wapping Wharf, the Harbourside, Underfall Yard and the Western Harbour. \u201cThe cable car will connect a transport hub at Temple Meads, a financial centre in the Old City, a leisure area on the Harbourside, a development site at the Western Harbour and one of the most popular locations in Bristol \u2013 the suspension bridge,\u201d the Bristol Post quotes project planner White. Furthermore, in the second phase, it would connect to Ashton Gate Stadium, which would mean that football and rugby fans could also become cable car passengers.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"elegant-carousel-container elegant-carousel-1\"><style type=\"text\/css\">.elegant-carousel-container.elegant-carousel-1 .elegant-carousel-item {border:5px solid #ffffff;}<\/style><div class=\"elegant-slick-settings\" style=\"display:none;\">{\"vertical\":false,\"slidesToShow\":1,\"slidesToScroll\":1,\"speed\":\"300\",\"fade\":false,\"infinite\":true,\"centerMode\":false,\"centerPadding\":false,\"accessibility\":true,\"adaptiveHeight\":true,\"arrows\":true,\"dots\":true,\"autoplay\":true,\"autoplaySpeed\":3000,\"draggable\":true,\"itemPadding\":\"\",\"itemMargin\":\"\",\"nextArrowIcon\":\"\",\"prevArrowIcon\":\"\",\"arrowColor\":\"#000000\",\"arrowFontSize\":\"24px\",\"dotsIcon\":\"\",\"dotsColor\":\"#666666\",\"dotsColorActive\":\"#333333\",\"dotsFontSize\":\"18px\",\"pauseOnHover\":true,\"pauseOnDotsHover\":true,\"responsive\":[{\"breakpoint\":1024,\"settings\":{\"slidesToShow\":\"3\",\"slidesToScroll\":\"3\"}},{\"breakpoint\":768,\"settings\":{\"slidesToShow\":\"2\",\"slidesToScroll\":\"2\",\"initialSlide\":0}},{\"breakpoint\":480,\"settings\":{\"slidesToShow\":\"1\",\"slidesToScroll\":\"1\",\"initialSlide\":0}}]}<\/div><div class=\"elegant-carousel elegant-slick\"><div class=\"elegant-carousel-item elegant-carousel-item-3\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-8495 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3_CableCarCabin-Portwall-Lane-300x200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3_CableCarCabin-Portwall-Lane-200x133.png 200w, https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3_CableCarCabin-Portwall-Lane-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3_CableCarCabin-Portwall-Lane-400x266.png 400w, https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3_CableCarCabin-Portwall-Lane-451x300.png 451w, https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3_CableCarCabin-Portwall-Lane-600x399.png 600w, https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3_CableCarCabin-Portwall-Lane-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3_CableCarCabin-Portwall-Lane-800x532.png 800w, https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3_CableCarCabin-Portwall-Lane.png 810w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"elegant-carousel-item elegant-carousel-item-4\">\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8497 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2_CableCarCabin-Peros-Bridge-1-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2_CableCarCabin-Peros-Bridge-1-200x150.png 200w, https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2_CableCarCabin-Peros-Bridge-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2_CableCarCabin-Peros-Bridge-1-400x300.png 400w, https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2_CableCarCabin-Peros-Bridge-1-600x450.png 600w, https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2_CableCarCabin-Peros-Bridge-1.png 615w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cbp-headline cbp-526082209\"><div class=\"custom-si is-underline text-left\"><H1>Up to 4,000 people per hour <\/H1><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>The project developers anticipate a transport capacity of 2,000 people per hour, which could be expanded to up to 4,000. The planned route is 3.5 kilometres long and the journey time should be ten minutes. Passengers would be transported in 6-person gondolas \u2013 a good way to transport people in social bubbles during the coronavirus.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"cbp-headline cbp-664346728\"><div class=\"custom-si is-underline text-left\"><H1>Plans extend by 2030<\/H1><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p>If the decision goes in favour of the cable car, the aerial transport solution could be completed within one to two years. The Clifton Cable Company plans for the second phase has around five years after the first \u2013 and even for a third in 2030. This last expansion stage would include stops on Brandon Hill and Park Street, at Bristol Royal Infirmary, Cabot Circus, the Old Market and Temple Quay, and once again at Temple Meads railway station. The journey time for this cable car is estimated at 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"cbp-headline cbp-705115985\"><div class=\"custom-si is-underline text-left\"><H1>Private funding<\/H1><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p>The cable car would be privately financed. On the cost side, the instigators expect the maintenance costs of the cable car to be lower than for a comparable number of buses. \u201cThe ticket price would sit slightly higher than a bus but less than a taxi,\u201d Rhodes assures the Bristol Post. In phase 1 of the cable car project, the focus is on paying tourists, although a broader target audience is planned for the final expansion, from which the local economy would benefit and which would bridge the social divide between poor and rich areas, as Broome argues in Bristol 24\/7. Vincent Carrie, British Sales Manager for POMA, agrees with him: \u201cIn Bristol, like anywhere in the world, the cable car can be integrated into the network and expanded at any time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to both media reports, the city government seems very open to the cable car plans and the tourist and transport boards have also commented positively on the plans.<\/p>\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>In the British city of Bristol, an urban cable car between Temple Meads railway station and the Clifton suspension bridge is under discussion.
