Lanová dráha Pisárky – Bohunice, Aerial lift in Pisárky district, Brno, Czech Republic.
The Lanová dráha Pisárky–Bohunice is a planned 1.7 km gondola lift in Brno, discussed since 2014 but never built. It would climb 71 metres from the Lipová tram loop in Pisárky, past the Riviéra leisure area and through forest, to the university campus in Bohunice, with three pylons reachable by existing asphalt cycle paths.
The idea was discussed from about 2010 and publicly presented in October 2014 by mayor Roman Onderka and transport company director Miloš Havránek, two weeks before municipal elections. A city investment plan was approved on 15 December 2015, and a territorial study in 2018 fixed the lower terminus at Lipová stop in Pisárky. A building permit issued in 2022 was annulled in 2024, and the project was postponed indefinitely.
The cable car integration into Brno's public transport system reflects the city's approach to connect educational facilities with exhibition spaces.
The cable car is only a planned project, not in operation: a 1.7 km route with 71 m of elevation gain, from the Lipová tram loop in Pisárky via a stop at the Riviéra recreation area to the university campus in Bohunice. The plan foresees a 4.5-minute ride, 500 people per hour each way and 8-person cabins departing at intervals of at least 30 seconds.
The project was designed by the firm A Plus, which also drew up most of the Bohunice campus. It foresaw only three supports, all reachable along existing asphalt cycle paths, and no forest clearing for the construction.
