Cable Car Proposed For San Miguelito
story by La Prensa

A cable car system modeled on the Cable Metro of Medellín, Colombia, was proposed during a San Miguelito City Council meeting Tuesday by PRD Representative Raul Pineda and San Miguelito Mayor Hector Valdes Carrasquilla.

Proponents of the the cable car argue that it would act as a complement the the Martinelli administration's metro planned for the capital, and would provide service to many communities in the hilly, sprawling sector that currently lack a consistent transportation system.

The cost of the line that would traverse Sinai, Torrijos-Carter and Mano de Piedra, is estimated at $50 million and, if approved, could be installed within two years.

Brazil has offered to help finance the project, which has not yet been presented to the executive government.
