Tangiers (Morocco): From the port to the city by cable car

Promoting alternative modes of transport to automobiles makes it possible to improve accessibility and reduce road congestion in port-city territories; the most common include going on foot, by bicycle, or on shared transportation (tramway, cable cars, etc.). In certain port cities, the local geography makes unusual transportation an attractive option. Such solutions can provide other benefits besides improved accessibility to port-city sites. For the environment, it reduces road traffic, hence the associated GHG emissions. And, for the attractiveness of the port city territory, it can become a tourist attraction. These benefits can be seen in Tangiers, where the port opted for a cable car idea.
