Passenger Ropeway: A Convenient Aerial Transport Corridor

Passenger ropeways are special-equipment transport tools good for complex terrain. They carry passengers in scenic spots, mountainous and special urban areas. Three main types: aerial passenger ropeways, funiculars and surface tow-lifts. Private in-house commuting ropeways are excluded.

1. Classification and Main Features

1.Aerial passenger ropeway: Reciprocating type shuttles between two stations for long-distance low-volume transport. Circulating type uses looped ropes for large-capacity passenger delivery.

2.Funicular: Rope-driven carriages run on rails. Stable performance for mountain-city traffic.

3.Surface tow-lift: Mostly for ski resorts. Pull passengers uphill. Low construction and maintenance costs.

2. Safety Riding Guidelines

• Confirm the official safety-inspection label is displayed.

• Read passenger notices before boarding.

• Queue under staff guidance. Sit tight; never open doors or safety bars without permission.

• Leave platforms orderly; do not loiter.

3. Emergency Response & Self-Protection

If the ropeway stops suddenly: stay calm and follow broadcast instructions. Do not force open doors or barriers. Cooperate with rescuers. Prioritize evacuation for the elderly, children and women.

Move to safe zones after reaching ground.

Follow riding rules and basic emergency knowledge to enjoy aerial transport safely.
