The first line belonging to Phase II of the world’s biggest
ropeway network opened in Bolivia. The Línea
Azul (blue line) lies entirely in La Paz / El Alto and
extends the network by almost five kilometers. Passengers
can board and disembark at a total of five
stations along this line. Thanks to the direct through
travel, it is possible to ride the entire length of the
route from the first to the last station without having
to change. The new line links up directly with the
existing Línea Roja (red line), providing connections
from several districts in El Alto to La Paz. The route
crosses the biggest street market in Latin America,
which makes it a key means of public transport for
the city. It is also a very important line for students
as it connects the University UPEA of El Alto with the
ropeway network.
