Shimla city is the capital of Himachal Pradesh and a popular tourism destination in northern India. The city experiences acute traffic congestion due to narrow roads and lack of adequate parking facilities. Conventional options to ease the traffic congestion and cope with mobility challenges such as widening of existing roads, bus rapid transit system, etc. are restricted by the city’s mountainous terrain. Since tourism is an important contributor to the city’s economy, it is crucial to preserve the natural beauty and ecological balance while addressing these mobility challenges and cater to the needs of residents and visitors. Hence the proposed implementation of an aerial ropeway transit system to provide eco-friendly mobility solution, abating transport challenges with minimal impact on the environment.
