Long lines at the Mirador (El Alto) and Liberator (La Paz), difficult access to the latest handset and service shutdown stations marked the beginning of commercial operations of the Yellow Line My Cable Car, used by 17,490 users between 11.00 and 17.30 yesterday.
At 16.12, a little more than four hours of his inauguration, the service stopped. "A low voltage attributable to the electricity distribution company Delapaz caused the shutdown and desynchronization avoidance system booths. The system was adjusted and proceeded to continue the service, "said yesterday the executive manager of the state My Cableway, César Dockweiler. "The cabins were detained about five minutes, but the adjustment took about 15 minutes," added the manager.
The stations of this branch was opened to the public at 11.00, after the inauguration presided by President Evo Morales, accompanied by Vice President Álvaro García and national, departmental and local.
The President emphasized the modernization of metropolitan public transport system with the implementation of the cable, its government initiative which will invest U.S. $ 234.6 million. The project is implemented by the Austrian company Doppelmayr, a leader in the field.
Morales arrived at the station at about 08.10 Libertador-he had planned the program begins at 07.30-, there cut the ribbon and unveiled a plaque. Then he addressed a cab to the station Sopocachi, unveiled another plaque and visited the area where the engines.
On the Buenos Aires station he and other government authorities launched pitchers with offerings to the Pachamama and his journey ended in the Mirador Resort.
"(La Paz) is a model city, modern and come another five (branches) more," he said in reference to the second phase of the project which involves the construction of five more lines and in his administration plans to invest U.S. $ 450 million.
This branch is the second to be open to the public. Red, inaugurated on May 30, transported 3.5 million passengers, which left boxed just over 12.5 million B-was the first, and the green is expected to begin operations in October. The Yellow Line-the longest of the three of them 60 people work in the technical area and operating safety 60 and 30 in cleaning; working in three shifts.
The second branch of Satellite Town (E. Mirador), El Alto; the first intermediate stop is located between the streets and avenue Moxos Buenos Aires (Buenos Aires E.); the second, between the streets and Cervantes Mendez Arcos (E. Sopocachi); and stroke curve ends in Holguin (E. del Libertador) in Obrajes.
Access. Even before the completion of the official events in the Mirador Libertadores stations and long lines of people looking to use the new branch is generated. In El Alto formed two that stretched more than a block in the doors of the station, on South Avenue Overview. The first to buy a ticket and the second to enter the platform, this is only for those who had their payment card Contact Zero.
There was less demand in Buenos Aires and stops Sopocachi where five to seven users buying tickets to make their first air crossing route to El Alto or to the South of La Paz.
As the civil works in the outer areas of the four seasons were not completed, my special access Cableway enabled covered with gravel, in which it was impossible not to powder her shoes.
In the first, access was made by the Moxos extension, slope and cobbled hitching a ramp to the second floor covered with gravel. In Sopocachi, income is down the street Mendez Arcos, which was covered with gravel; rubber and wood ramps were fitted. In the Liberator, the rows are spread almost to the curve of Holguin. Income was also lined with pebbles, causing inconvenience to users.
In that place there was traffic congestion caused by passengers who had just left the station and wanted to go to the center. They would stop a public transport vehicle and despite the momentary parking trancaderas occasioned. Citizens who were heading south had to overcome the cars to come forward, as there were no stop signs or agents bring order. However, in 7 hours and 30 minutes, 17,490 people used the service.
