Frances first Cable Propelled Transit (CPT) system, the Brest Cable Car has finally opened for passenger service. The 460m long CPT line crosses the coastal river of Penfeld at heights of up to 70m and connects the City Center to the Capucins neighborhood (former military/industrial site currently being revitalized). For city builders, this system has been a long time coming as it effectively demonstrates how ropeway technology has evolved to meet the special needs of the urban market. Brest, Finistere, France
