Technical Feasibility StudyFreetown, in collaboration with the C40 Cities Finance Facility, is embarking on a game-changing cable car mass transit network. This innovative project, spanning 3.6km with four stations, aims to serve 6,000 passengers per hour, connecting underprivileged hillside communities to the central business district. Targeting the city’s congestion and informal transport issues, the cable car promises quick, safe, and affordable transit.
Designed for minimal disruption, the project will create 2,200 short-term jobs during construction and 70 long-term positions, contributing to economic growth. Beyond addressing immediate transit challenges, the cable car network targets Freetown’s environmental concerns, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 31% and combatting air pollution, improving public health.
This initiative positions Freetown as a leader in green, inclusive transport solutions in West Africa, with plans for expansion after a successful pilot. The cable car project reflects Freetown’s commitment to sustainable urban development, economic empowerment, and citizen well-being.
