The World’s Longest Aerial Cable Car System
The World’s Longest Aerial Cable Car System
October 5th, 2014 by Cynthia Shahan
Mi Teleférico in Bolivia is on the verge of becoming the longest aerial cable car system in the world. It actually connects two cities.
Residents of the La Paz/El Alto Metropolitan area enjoyed the opening of the Mi Teleférico cable car system that connects the cities of La Paz and El Alto, Bolivia, in May 2014. There was a powerful response to this significantly helpful new transport option with a panoramic view, with millions riding it.
Navigating the mountainous terrain, the service reduces travel time between the cities. The cities together are one of the swiftest growing urban areas in Bolivia. Mi Teleférico has topped expectations.

According to TheCityFix, “In its first two months, the Red Line transported 2.3 million passengers and collected more than 8 million Bolivianos (USD$ 1.2 million) in fares, well above what had been projected.”
Expansion after this strong start continues with the colors of the national flag — yellow, green, and red — to match the three lines. Soon, the cable car system will be the longest in the world, when the Green Line opens soon after the Yellow Line that opened on Monday, September 15, 2014.
