The proposed ropeway will provide a scenic and efficient transport route connecting key areas of the city, operating between Lobi in Division 4, Secretariat, Ganga Market, Chimpu and vice versa.
Arunachal Pradesh’s capital Itanagar is set to improve its urban transport infrastructure with the introduction of a ropeway system and electric buses.
Itanagar Municipal Corporation (IMC) Mayor Tamme Phassang said on Tuesday evening that discussions for setting up the ropeway system are in the final stages.
The IMC is collaborating with companies based in Hyderabad and Gujarat to finalise the project, he said.
The proposed ropeway will provide a scenic and efficient transport route connecting key areas of the city, operating between Lobi in Division 4, Secretariat, Ganga Market, Chimpu and vice versa.
In addition to the ropeway, the IMC is collaborating with the Arunachal Pradesh State Transport Services (APSTS) to operate 10 electric buses in the capital, with potential for future expansion, he said.
It will depend on the success of the trials, he said.
“These developments demonstrate IMC’s dedication to modernizing its transportation network and promoting sustainable urban mobility,” the mayor added.
