La Paz, Bolivia

Since 2014, aerial ropeways have been part of everyday life for the residents of La Paz and El Alto in Bolivia. These environmentally friendly and efficient installations make it easier for people to get from A to B, reduce travel times and guarantee that they will get where they want to go on time.

The ropeway network constitutes the principal mode of transport for the two South American metropolises and consists of ten lines with an overall length of over 30 kilometers. Every day, Mi Teleférico is used by some 300,000 people – as a means of getting to work, going shopping, going to school or accessing leisure-time activities. Over 300 million passengers have been carried to date. Commuters benefit from significant time savings and escape from the daily road congestion by using the ropeway.

The stations are barrier-free and can also be used by mobility-impaired passengers with no problem. Many of the stations are multifunctional and also serve as community centers, providing a boost to the attractiveness of the local neighborhood. Free Wi-Fi in the cabins is a popular and frequently used additional benefit.

The world’s biggest ropeway network has had a positive impact on the many people who live and work in La Paz and El Alto, and improved their quality of life. Mi Teleférico is a visionary mobility solution that provides an outstanding example for others around the globe to follow.
