More about

The project

The first 2.5 km section of the Tizi Ouzou urban gondola lift was commissioned in January 2020. It is linked directly with the bus and train networks, which means that users can now reach the province in just eleven minutes, stress-free, comfortably travelling in one of the 65 10-seat gondola lifts.
Its four stations are located in the heart of the districts they serve. Particular care has been taken to ensure that the architecture is perfectly integrated into its surroundings: the mashrabiya wooden windows add a local touch and the ground coverage is reduced to a minimum.

It is part of a 3-section urban aerial ropeway (two gondola lifts and an aerial tram) over 5 km that connects the university, the 1 November stadium, the hospital or even the province's assembly in record time.

Sustainable
transport

The city of Tizi Ouzou is suffocating due to the large number of vehicles and its impact on traffic and the environment. With this new aerial route, traffic will improve and the environment will be better protected.

Maintenance
and operation

To date, more than 100 people have been recruited to ensure the operation, maintenance and safety of the gondola lift, as well as the service to users. All staff received training prior to commissioning of the line, from the ETAC training centre with backing from the POMA Academy and its interactive training tool UPilot®.

Intermodality

This first 2.5 km-section interfaces directly with the bus and rail networks, meaning users can now reach the province’s assembly house in just eleven minutes, stress-free, comfortably installed in one of the sixty-five 10-seater gondolas.

Success since
its opening

The ropeway attracted a crowd of 4000 people keen to be among the first passengers, and over the course of the following days, it carried more than 14,000 enthusiastic users a day. Since then, the average number of passengers on the new Algerian line has reached 15,000 a day!

More about

The project

In France's aeronautical capital, an overhead mobility solution is right at home!

Téléo is part of the city's public transport network, covering almost 3 kilometres in 10 minutes to connect Rangueil Hospital, the Oncopole and Paul Sabatier University, all major hubs of activity in Toulouse employing 85,000 people.

Eagerly awaited by its 8,000 daily users, it eases traffic in the south of the city, in connection with three metro train lines.

Ropeway transportation was selected because it is the most appropriate solution for adapting perfectly to the terrain of the line—the ropeway crosses the Garonne river and travels over Pech David hill—and “detachable 3S” POMA technology was chosen for its excellent capacity to withstand the wind and its minimal requirements for ground space.

Longest

urban aerial ropeway

in France

With its 3-kilometre line between the Oncopole and Paul Sabatier University—two of the city’s main areas of activity—Téléo is the longest urban ropeway in France

Multimodal

Téléo connects to the existing metro and bus lines in the south of the agglomeration and interlaces with the public transport network. Its transport capacity is capable of growing according to the needs of the inhabitants of Toulouse, by adding new carriers to reach a capacity of 2000 pphpd.

Sustainable

transport

The carbon footprint of ropeway transportation is very low (30 times less than for cars), by virtue of its lightweight infrastructure combined with 100% electric motorisation and energy options. Téléo is a model of decarbonised eco-mobility.

Comfort

and Design

Pininfarina, the famous designer for Ferrari, created the look for Toulouse’s “Urban Symphony” cabins. Onboard the Symphony you can find optimum comfort for 34 passengers, who will appreciate the peace and quiet as well as the breath-taking view of the Pyrenees!

Accessibility

The passenger route has been optimised to ensure accessibility for all passengers and the interior layout of the cabins was submitted to and approved by the association CARUT, a representative body of urban transport users with disabilities.

Moreover, with their wide openings and the carriers stopping in the stations, boarding is easier for everyone, including passengers with equipment (wheelchairs, pushchairs, bicycles, etc.).

Reduced ground requirements

3S technology has a remarkable advantage in urban environments: its limited requirement for land and its visual impact. Stations can be off the ground and very compact, and only a small number of towers are installed. Despite being 3 kilometres long, the ropeway in Toulouse requires only five towers.
