Abstract

The chapter addresses cable cars as a new mode of public transportation in large city contexts. The advances of doctoral research attempt to analyze the phenomenon through the sociotechnical approach. The empirical work has been carried out in the Valley of Mexico through interviews with users, promoters, public, and private allies. The research aims to describe and explain the sociotechnical trajectories and the degree of tensions and interactions between relevant social actors. The preliminary results account for the controversies present regarding these new artifacts. Sustainability, the economic value given the savings in travel times for users and new public-private conditions that are imposed after the adoption of the new public transportation service are the characteristics that stand out.
