Time-saving
Passengers gain time with the
ropeway because it runs continuously
and has an impressive
transport capacity. Traffic jams,
hustle and bustle, and congested
roads are alien to it. The ropeway
glides above it all and brings its
passengers – commuters,
families or tourists – direct to
their destination quickly and
reliably. The result is a very short
and plannable journey at any time.
Reliable
For many decades, ropeways
have enjoyed a successful track
record of operating under the
most challenging climatic
conditions. In cities around the
globe, they carry millions of
people day in, day out in compliance
with the highest safety
standards. They have established
themselves as a safe and reliable
means of transport.
Space-saving
As only the towers and stations
require space on the ground,
ropeways have a low structural
footprint. This makes construction
possible even in built-up urban
environments. By using the Plus-1
Level, other traffic infrastructure
on the ground is relieved and can
be partially dismantled. The
freed-up space makes the urban
living space more attractive for
public use.
