miamimike says on May 10, 2008, 23:01: Thanks BillyB. Nice looking Setup! Just what Miami Needs between the Beach and the mainland! Or at the very least, the TransMilenio Bus System, which is understudy here in Miami to alleviate the Daily Massive traffic snafu. Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we.

billyb says on May 10, 2008, 23:12: It is a part of the metro system and that seems to have been built by german and Spanisf firms, but the following article is not quite clear.

Medellin Traveler says on May 11, 2008, 08:00: The pictures were taken with a Sony Cybershot, 7.2 megapixels. The palm-size Aiptek DV 5900 camcorder works great for $60; camera, video, mp3, audio recorder, and webcam. Medellin Es Una Chimba! - www.medellintraveler.com |

bartolo_colon says on May 11, 2008, 21:11: MiamiMike I am almost positive the old system is from Siemens, I think I remember seeing a plaque somewhere. It looks like this line is from Poma. Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here! |

nine inch nails says on May 12, 2008, 05:09: Was the Christ always there in that barrio or was it erected new as part of the new cable car line? I like it. "Bank owned" (www.foreclosurebyowner.com) |

lpdiver says on May 12, 2008, 18:05: Is this the only metro cable line currently in service? When we were there in August of 06 there was a rumor of another to be constructed? Or perhaps THIS is that rumored line? "cook some rice!" |

mcheasley says on May 12, 2008, 20:04: MT, We rode the new tram in april.. We got off 3 minutes before the cars started swayin as a storm came rolling in.. Just in time, cause when theres lightning and high wind they stop the tram with the people still on it until its safe to start up again.. A couple of stations down the line we heard the announcements that the tram was closed.. It was well worth the ride though..

Medellin Traveler says on May 13, 2008, 03:28: Yeah. I would not suggest anyone planning on a trip to the cable cars if rain is in the forecast. Medellin Es Una Chimba! - www.medellintraveler.com |

lpdiver says on May 13, 2008, 15:43: On our trip last year on the other cable car line I sat next to a lady who had been stranded in a cable car for a long time and then to add insult to injury she had to take a taxi back down into the city. She indicated that the taxi ride took an hour and she had to travel through some really sketchy areas. "cook some rice!" |
