Urban Cable Cars

from People Fixing the World · host BBC World Service

Is a new urban cable car in Mexico more than just a means of public transport? As well as ferrying thousands of people a day, it's been strategically located to link up the poorest neighbourhoods to more affluent parts of the city. It's hoped it will bring growth to a forgotten district, reduce crime and become a means of bridging the social divide. World Hacks travels to Mexico City to see if it can achieve those goals and understand why cities are opting for this usual form of transport.Presenter: Sahar Zand Producers: Elizabeth Cassin and Nick HollandImage: Cable cars above Mexico City / Credit: BBC
