Teleférico Línea Blanca: Villarroel ↔San Jorge, Aerial gondola station in La Paz, Bolivia.
The Teleférico Línea Blanca is a gondola station connecting Villarroel and San Jorge with modern cable car technology across the city's different elevation zones. The system transports up to 3,000 passengers per hour, functioning as part of a larger urban transport network.
The station opened in March 2018 as part of the second expansion phase of Mi Teleférico, contributing to what became the world's largest urban cable car network. This addition addressed growing transportation demands across the city's neighborhoods.
The station names reflect both Spanish and indigenous Aymara languages, showing how local traditions remain visible in the city's modern infrastructure.
The gondola operates on weekdays from early morning through late evening, making it accessible for commuters throughout the day. The high capacity means short waits even during busy travel periods.
The cable car system operates at extreme altitude, taking advantage of the city's steep terrain in a way few transportation networks worldwide can match. What once required nearly an hour between neighborhoods now takes only minutes.
