The Venice People Mover links a car park (under construction in October 2010) at Tronchetto to Piazzale Roma with an intermediate stop Marittima at the Venice cruise terminal. The system opened on 19th April 2010 and was built by Austrian company Doppelmayer Cable Car (DCC). It is a single track cable-hauled system with a passing loop at the intermediate station Marittima. the journey takes 190 seconds with a fastest dwell time of 30 seconds. At present trains wait for 8 minutes at termini since traffic is not heavy whilst work continues on the Tronchetto car park. Maximum capacity is 3000 passengers per hour and the 4-car trains carry 200 passengers. trains run at 29kph (18mph) and the length is 870m. System has been installed mainly at airports in the US and Europe.
