B&S Urban Cable has come up with a cable car solution to the Kathmandu Valley’s traffic congestion. According to the company promoted by FNCCI Vice President, Bhawani Rana in partnership with Shyam Mohan Shrestha, a detailed study is under way for the project. 

“The project is expected to complete at a cost of Rs 15-20 billion in four years.” Rana told the Corporate. The company has already conducted a preliminary study for operating cable cars from Narayan Gopal Chowk to Lagankhel and from Kuleshwor to Baudha, with stations at different places for passenger embarkation and disembarkation. The project envisages deployment of sufficient number of cable cars to carry 200,000 persons per day. Each car will have a capacity to carry 25 to 30 persons at a time. The fares for the cable car will be similar to other public transport vehicles, according to Rana. According to her the Nepali government people are positive towards the projects. Moreover, 3-4 French companies have shown interest to partner with B&S Urban Cable in this project. Similarly, the firm is also talking with some Australian, American as well as Swiss companies.
