The ropeway is a type of Aerial Transportation Mode in which passengers are transported in cabins that are suspended and pulled by cables. Recently, ropeways have gained more attention worldwide, and now is being considered one of the most popular, energy-efficient transit modes for urban areas with topographical barriers and limited space.

The basic components of any ropeway include carriers (cabins), a drive and a return terminal, towers (to support ropes between terminals and stations), and ropes (which may be haulage or track ropes).

At present, ropeway technologies that have been used as mass transit modes in urban areas include five technologies: Aerial Tramways, Dual-Haul Aerial Tramways, Mono-cable Detachable Gondolas (MDG), Bi-cable Detachable Gondolas (BDG) and Tri-cable Detachable Gondolas (TDG).
