Cochabamba Cable Car, Aerial lift system in Cochabamba, Bolivia.
The Cochabamba Cable Car is a transportation network with passenger cabins that connects several stations across the city's valley. The system links different neighborhoods by crossing over the terrain between them.
The system opened in 1999 and introduced a new transport solution for this mountainous city. It transformed how people could move between neighborhoods built across steep terrain.
The stations function as meeting points where residents encounter each other while moving through their neighborhoods. They have become woven into the everyday patterns of how people navigate their city.
The system is accessible daily from stations located throughout the city for easy entry and exit. The rides between stations are quick, making it simple to transfer between different lines.
The system operates at high altitude where the air is thinner and riders can see the surrounding mountain landscape up close. This creates a riding experience that differs from cable cars found in lower elevation cities.
