The customer required an affordable APM that could be built on the shifting foundation of a partially dry lakebed. One decisive factor in the customer´s choice was Doppelmayr Cable Car´s ability to adjust to ground settlements with its steel guideway concept. Heavy traffic through this important hub required significant extensions. The shuttle transports passengers over a total distance of 3,025 m (9,925 ft) in less than 4.5 minutes.
