On 18 May 2019 The Reporter Ethiopia wrote that Sky Way Investment Group had presented plans for a commercial cable-train system in Ethiopia, marketed as a compact elevated transport technology.
Addis Ababa and other cities already struggled with congestion, light-rail limits, and uneven road quality. A cable-train pitch was one more foreign tech offer in a capital hungry for mobility projects and short on hard currency.
Announcements are not built lines. Still, the proposal belongs in the 2019 infrastructure file beside light rail, bus rapid transit talk, and Chinese-built roads that reshape how people move through the Horn’s largest city.
As urban tech archive, the Reporter note dates who was selling cable transport to Ethiopia and why space-saving systems sounded attractive on paper.
