Quick facts Overview, Native name ...

Venice's People Mover is a small-scale automated guideway public transit system—a people mover.^[6]

The system's two four-car trains are pulled by a cable similar to a funicular,^[7] but with shallow gradients track: it reaches a maximum of 6.2% at the section crossing the Tronchetto channel, and is less than 5% over the rest of the track.^[8] Each of the two trains can accommodate 200 passengers.^[9]

The line was built by a consortium led by the Austrian company Doppelmayr Cable Car. It was the fifth Cable Liner shuttle system installed by the Doppelmayr Garaventa Group.^[10]

The whole 870-metre-long (0.5 mi) journey takes just over three minutes, including the stop next to the cruise ship terminal.^[6] The rail gauge is 1220 mm, and the difference in altitude between terminal stations is 0.58 m.^[11]

In mid-2023, the fare was €1.50. Passengers who already have an unused ACTV land-bus ticket can validate that instead of paying the fare to ride the People Mover.^[12]
