Ropeways as a means of urban transport [EN]

Out of all TFL modes of
transport, the ropeway ranks
top for passenger satisfaction.
Close to the heart
of Londoners
since the Olympics
For over ten years, Doppelmayr has
been running and maintaining the IFS
Cloud Cable Car, originally built for the
London 2012 Olympics, on behalf of TFL
(Transport for London). Carrying around
1.5 million passengers a year between
North Greenwich and the Royal Docks,
this mode of transport proves itself on
a daily basis.
Today, the ropeway is valued by tourists,
residents and business people alike. Out
of all TFL modes of transport, the ropeway
ranks top for passenger satisfaction.
During the 2012 Summer Olympics, the
10-passenger gondola provided a fast,
convenient connection between the various
venues. Since then, it has made a significant
contribution toward development
of the district around the Royal Docks.
