The service, announced as part of PAC 2 (the Brazilian federal funding program for infrastructure) consisted of a 2.1 mile gondola line running above the Complexo do Alemão group of favelas, and cost 210 million Brazilian reais to build.[4][5] The decision to fund the construction of the line saw heavy criticism, with local media describing it as a vanity project,[6] with the money potentially being better spent elsewhere. The system received 9000 riders daily whilst in operation.[7]
History
The service was inaugurated by Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, Rio de Janeiro State Governor Sérgio Cabral Filho and Rio de Janeiro City Mayor Eduardo Paes on 7 July 2011.[8] Local residents could apply for a card granting them two free trips a day.[9]
Services were suspended in 2016 because the state couldn't pay the consortium anymore.[10][11]
Services
The line consisted of six stations between Bonsucesso Station [pt] and Palmeiras Station in the Complexo do Alemão favela. The 152 gondolas took 16 minutes to traverse the 3.5 km route.[2][12]
