The Surprising Success of Gondola Transit Systems

Another win for 🚡emoji!!!

Whenever something like this is implemented, with technology that never existed in Latin America, there is no credit given to Europeans, because the only thing Latin Americans prefer doing is blaming them. Without Europeans no Latin American would know what a phone is or what a plane is.

They have a Gandola system in Guayaquil also, but isn’t that great because it’s a different type of city

THAN YOU EVO MORALES, PRESIDENT OF BOLIVIA..THAN YOU FOR THE THELEFERICOS....

THANK YOU EVO MORALESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Thank you for this video, very enlightening!

looks amazing.

i believe MEDELLIN in columbia was the first city with multiple gondola as public transport.

they had their system up and running 20 plus years,ago.

a great solution to a problem that should have never let happen

Portland Oregon has a single line gondola leading to hospitals up on a hill

Not a bad video even though it’s AI. The telltale sign as he keeps pronouncing meh-deh-YEEN med-see-zheen. Chinese often pronounced to L’s like a ZH

You taught me a great thing today, now I have La Paz on my must visit places list. Thank you.

It would have been interesting to see a comparison to the Wuppertal suspended monorail in Germany. Fun fact, an elephant rode and fell out of it in the 50's 😅.

When they were talking about bringing light rail into Tempe, Arizona, someone proposed a similar system. Never happened. Now we have two different light rail systems, and around the Asu University, the tracks literally cross over each other, rolling Air-conditioned, homeless shelters. 😡

Also with gondolas you dont have to worry about shit humans wandering up and down from car to car mugging and killing and hurting people like you get with subways.

You didn't mention the Portland one although you showed video of it. I'm tired of the west coast of the US being ignored. I'll unsubscribe.

La Paz is BEAUTIFUL

Some day in our near future no baby will ever need to learn how to walk.

Aerial tramway mentioned 🚡

Gondolas, gondolas, gondolas.

Great video. But you forgot to say that one of the first cities to implement this systems was Medellín in Colombia. It's true that the one in La Paz is now the most complex cause the quantity of areal lines but thats because it's the best option for the geography of this city. Take a trip to Colombia and you would find at least 4 cities with this kind of systems.

Thank Wendover Productions for this INTERESTING video about the Gondola Transit Systems in Bolivia.

Best transit system would be gondola, that could drive individually. The lines could go over the existing streets

Toulouse, serving the hospital complex in the south of the city. Adhesion rail transit wouldn't have worked there. Medellin? The gradient of the mountain slopes is simply too much to accommodate rail transit without segregated ROWs, and those weren't available.

I think my favorite thing about the Telefericos is, as you mentioned, how they all go at the same consistent speed, meaning you always arrive to your destinations in a predictable time, you don't have to guess whether or not you're gona get there 30 mins later or earlier due to traffic

I'm sold. I'll use gondola's in my next Cities Skylines build that has geographical challenges.

Colombia, more specifically Medellin, is the pioneer of this system copied around the world.

No es cierto pelo tudo, primero La Paz no es la capital ignorante!, la capital de bolivia es Sucre y luego no estamos (well under a million) somos más de tres millones, ya que el sistema abarca La Paz y el Alto, que sería toda la zona metropolitana de La Paz. Investiga mejor para tus vídeos, pelo tudo.

1:53 Just one correction: the city spans from 3200 meters above the sea level to 4100

Another channel has copied this with a different soundtrack

Landslides - in case you are wondering why the poor live in the "heights" districts.

La Paz is not the capital of bolivia Its sucre

Thanks for covering successes instead of just disasters, tragedies, and scandals. It feels like part of a more balanced, healthier media diet.

Saludos desde Medellin. 👋

Flood proof? I wish we had them to solve our transportation problems. Ways safer than creepy buses on the highway and cannot crash with local traffic.

Bolivian here, La Paz is not our capital city. Our capital is Sucre. A lot of people get confused because most of our government branches are in La Paz, but there is no law nor supreme decrete that says that La Paz is our capital city.

La Paz is NOT the capital, I´m bolivian, I´m from La Paz. The actual capital is Sucre, although, the presidential house and mostly everything that makes a capital, the capital, is here. Why? Don´t know man.

What's wrong with "opulent?"

I love the video, but I just wanted to point out that La Paz isn't the capital of Bolivia. I'm not trying to be annoying because I actually love your videos, just a little tidbit.

You forgot to mention that the cost was inflated due to the corruption of the leftist, and shameful government of Morales, who, BTW, is not from indigenious origin.

La Paz is NOT the Capital, it's Sucre!!! Don't start this amazing video with misinformation 😅

LA PAZ MENTIONED 🇧🇴🇧🇴🇧🇫🇧🇫
WTF IS A FLAT TERRAIN 🗣🗣🔥🔥
