Caracas Cabletren Bolivariano
Caracas, Venezuela
Project Start Date: April 2009
For Caracas, Doppelmayr Cable Car could find with its elevated cable car system the most efficient solution. Reducing the footprint was one of the goals that could be achieved. The light APM system allows for a streamlined steel guideway, which is ideal for overbuilt sites. Instead of the Metro concept’s single mid-station, three mid-stations can be used for additional passenger convenience.
