project, a cable car system with an hourly capacity of 3,000 passengers and a ride
duration of 16 minutes is planned to be commissioned between two parts of the capital city. In connection with this, Governor of
the capital city and Mayor of Ulaanbaatar S.Amarsaikhan on January 15 met with representatives

expressed his willingness to introduce cable car transport in not only a single
route, but many more parts of the city.
