GD10 CABLEBUS L2A+L2B

Equipped with more than 300 ten-passenger cabins, LEITNER’s “Cablebús 2” ropeway system carries up to 100,000 people per day over a distance of 10.6 kilometers via seven stations. The longest ropeway line in Latin America (Guinness World Record) opened on August 8, 2021. This ropeway is in the southeast of the Mexico City metropolitan area, in Iztalapala, whose 1.8 million residents can now enjoy significantly improved travel to workplaces, schools and recreational opportunities. More than 70,000 people are employed in stores, companies etc. along the route of the ropeway and can now reach their workplaces more quickly. There are also plans for 4,200 new jobs in Iztapalapa, which will be easier to get to thanks to this new mode of transport. And the travel time for this route has been greatly reduced from 75 to just 36 minutes. Residents of the district now enjoy not only a faster, safer connection, but also a much more sustainable means of transport.
