Taipei (Mucha) Cable Car

The stations are not very inspiring, but I suppose they're a bit better than some of the current designs of the Mucha MRT line.

POMA Press Release:

Taiwan: An ARIANA 8 gondola lift in Taipei

Are gondolas becoming a must-have in urban transport systems? This is a legitimate question since, after Medellin, now Taipei has selected an ARIANA 8 gondola with tropicalized DIAMOND cabins to link the Zoo subway stop in the Maokong district with the zoo and the residential areas around it. POMA is building this exceptional installation in collaboration with Chun Yuan, a major local construction company. This gondola lift will comprise five sections, four intermediate terminals, 145 cabins and two cable loops. It will be 4 kilometers long, transporting 2400 passengers per hour at 6 meters per second.

current status: under construction
revenue service: 11/06
