Von La Paz nach El Alto: Die längste Seilbahn der Welt was originally published on schunck.info

Location | La Paz, Bolivia, South America Bolivia has revolutionised the public transportation from the streets to the skies with the establishment of the worlds longest and highest urban gondola lift network in the world, named Teleférico. Local buses transport passengers from their homes in the capital city, La Paz, and El Alto to the Teleférico. With the city located 3 650 meters (11 975 ft) above sea level, it is also the highest capital city in the world. The Teleférico established in 2014 has 100,000 daily commuters - more than 20% of every people commute between the two cities, La Paz and El Alto, - which take the Teleférico to work or school, to buy or sell goods in the local market, or for leisure and tourist activities in any of the locations. The Teleférico also only takes about 20 minutes compared to the one hour it would take by car, and leaves every 12 seconds! Today there are 3 different gondola lines with 11 stations and a total of 443 gondola cars in use. There are however 7 more gondola lines and 17 more stations being planned. Through the establishment of Teleférico one has wanted to show Bolivia’s modernization, which has been possible thanks to more than ten years of economic prosperity and political stability under the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) government. The Teleférico is also promoted as a symbol of integration, to break down social, economic, and geographic barriers through connecting remote neighbourhoods of indigenous migrants to the commercial centre in the city. It has also opened up new opportunities towards tourism. One of Teleférico's stations can be seen in the middle to the right of this photo. We also see the natural division of the cities El Alto (left) and La Paz (right). #lapaz #elalto #bolivia #teleferico #teleférico #southamerica #worldurbanplanning #architecture #cityplanning #urbanplanning #aerial #aerialview #street #buildings #도시 #도시계획 #مدينة #볼리비아 #publictransport #gondola #cablecar #geometry #urbanpattern #urbandesign #drone #satellite (at Mi Teleférico - Estación 16 de Julio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6_ABuxAQGE/?igshid=12zinjtyori76
