    The contract, signed on February 28, 2026, provides for the operation of the cable car for a ten-year period starting July 13, 2026.

    TransMiCable serves the Ciudad Bolívar district and its over 800,000 inhabitants. With 163 cabins, four stations and a 3.4 km route, it carries 24,000 passengers every day, 70% of whom travel during peak hours. Its capacity exceeds 7,000 passengers per hour. Transdev and Fanalca previously jointly operated this cable car system, between December 2018 and the end of 2023

     

    “We are extremely proud to have been chosen again, together with our trusted partner Fanalca, to operate this cable car system that we know very well, as we had been operating it for five years following its initial launch. It is a true instrument for territorial development and social cohesion, that has helped unlock the district and revitalize an entire neighborhood. We will be bringing our recognized expertise in cable car operations, which we have also demonstrated, for example, in France with the C1 cable inaugurated last December”, states

    Antoine Colas, CEO International of Transdev Group.

    “For our Colombian teams, winning back this contract is an impressive and convincing example of modern mobility of people serving people; we are grateful for the renewed trust from our client, TransMilenio”, underlines

    Santiago Cucalón, CEO of Transdev Fanalca, Colombia.

    The TransMiCable cable system is interconnected with the TransMilenio BRT network, largely operated by Transdev-Fanalca, ensuring seamless connectivity with the rest of Bogotá’s public transport system, using the same fare card regardless of the mode of transport used.

    In France, in the Greater Paris region, since December 13, 2025, Transdev operates the C1 cable car line, Europe’s longest urban cable car, a 4.5 km line between Créteil and Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, on behalf of Île-de-France Mobilités. In Germany, Transdev has also just been selected by the city of Herne to design and operate its future urban cable car named “Blumenthal Airline”.
