Overview
In 2004, the city of Medellin, Colombia, was the first municipality in the world to use cable car (also known as aerial tramway) technology for urban transportation in high-elevation, densely populated areas. In the past, the technology was used mainly in the tourism sector (i.e., ski lifts for ski resorts).
Today, there are four Metrocable lines operating in Medellin and two more are under construction. The cable car system will have a total length of 14.7 kilometers. The first lines have reached full capacity.
The Metrocable lines connect to the metro system and have increased its use, improving mobility and quality of life in the city.
