Political determinants and impact analysis of using a cable system as a complement to an urban transport system by Escobar, Diego, Garcia, Francisco, Cadena-Gaitan, Carlos

“…We evaluate its costs, in a comparative perspective against the impacts generated by the system, via time savings in daily travel; due to its full integration with the public transport system, we also provide empirical evidence or the related passenger demand variability.Upon the implementation of the first cable system, additional similar projects have been initiated.We provide an insight into a cable system designed for recreation, currently being built, and describe the planning process for the most recent public transport cable system being designed.All these systems are evaluated from the supply-side, measuring accessibility, from the demand-side, modeling the complete urban transport system for the city, and from the political side, describing the determinants of the decisions that ultimately stimulate the implementation of these projects in sustainable mobility.Based on the results obtained, we offer conclusions in regards to the actual competitiveness of cable propelled systems, arguing on whether these should be considered as valid urban passenger transport solutions.…”
