Paris has plans for a cable-car system that transports passengers from the suburbs to the city.

The project, known as "Cable 1," addresses Paris' traffic and overcrowded buses. It is expected to only take the cable car 17 minutes to get to its main destinations, or "half the time it takes a bus."

"This attractive and innovative mode of transport will provide a concrete response to the daily travel difficulties of the inhabitants of these towns in the Val-de-Marne...” read a statement. "It will connect the territory to the heart of the department, to its major facilities (universities, hospitals, etc.), as well as to the rest of the Île-de-France region, and to connect densely populated neighborhoods to the terminus of Metro 8, to Bus 393 and to all buses connecting with future stations."

The cable cars will move across long cables that will stretch out to each stop. They are expected to move more than 11,000 people per day.

If approved, the $145 million project can begin construction this year and can be completed in 2025.

The cable car system will be the first of its kind for Paris and will be similar to ones that are currently active in other French cities like Brest and Grenoble.

Cable 1 will stop in five different suburbs including, Temps Durables and Emile Combes in Limeil-Brévannes, Emile Zola in Valenton and Bois Matar in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, with the terminus at Pointe du Lac in Créteil.
