Ngong Ping 360: Hong Kong’s state-of-the-art cable car Available to Purchase

Cable cars are increasingly being seen as sustainable mass-transit solutions due to minimal emissions, short waits, low costs and rapid construction. One of the most recent examples is the 5·7 km long Ngong Ping 360 ropeway on Lantau Island in Hong Kong, the largest bi-cable circulating detachable cable car system in the world. Completed with the help of mules and helicopters in September 2006, it links Tung Chung new town next to Hong Kong International airport with the popular Ngong Ping tourist village, home of the Tian Tan Buddha. The system has the second highest transport capacity in the world, with 3500 passengers per hour each way.
