People Mover Bridge
The People Mover in Venice is an automated elevated shuttle train. It connects the Tronchetto island and a car parking facility with the major transportation hub of the city (via a station in the port for the big cruise ships). Venice has to cope with huge traffic volumes, not least due to the fact that the city attracts 15 million tourists every year.
The system has two trains pulled by a cable similar to a funicular (but with shallow gradients track). Each of the two trains can accommodate 200 passengers.
This bridge and another bridge (crossing two canals) plus the stations were designed by the Venetian architect Francesco Cocco.
