Elevating Mobility Through Innovation

Connecting the Future  As cities grow and terrain challenges intensify, aerial ropeways are no longer niche solutions—they are essential infrastructure. Breco Ropeways is proud to be part of this transformation, delivering smart, efficient, and elegant mobility systems that connect people to opportunity.

UrboTram™ – Urban Ropeway Transit System (URTS)

UrboTram (URTS) represents the next evolution of urban mobility—positioned between the road and the sky. As cities struggle with congestion, pollution, and aging infrastructure, UrboTram offers a practical, scalable alternative to traditional ground-based transport.

Conceived to reduce traffic bottlenecks, emissions, stress, and inefficient commutes, URTS restores what urban mobility has lost: speed, reliability, and quality of life. In a world where reaching destinations at 30–60 mph has become increasingly unrealistic, UrboTram enables cities to move people efficiently without adding roads, bridges, or overpasses.


The Global Urban Mobility Challenge

Urban transportation systems worldwide are under unprecedented strain:

    • Tens of millions of vehicles are added to roads annually, overwhelming existing infrastructure
    • Over 75% of commuters in major cities still drive alone
    • Commute times continue to rise, consuming years of productive human life
    • Road accidents cause tens of thousands of preventable deaths annually
    • Transportation remains a leading source of greenhouse gas emissions and urban air pollution
    • Fossil fuel dependency and climate risks threaten long-term sustainability
    • Secure, affordable mobility remains inaccessible to large segments of the population

Cities are approaching the physical and economic limits of road-based expansion.


Why Traditional Alternatives Fall Short

    • Road widening and mega-infrastructure projects are costly, slow, and often worsen congestion
    • Monorail and light rail systems require extensive land acquisition, obstruct views, generate noise, and face long construction timelines
    • Experimental concepts such as flying taxis and hyperloops remain costly, complex, and unproven at scale

Linear cable systems lack flexibility, require large stations, and struggle with urban constraints


The UrboTram Advantage

UrboTram URTS is a safe, energy-efficient, and cost-effective aerial transit solution designed specifically for dense urban environments. It:

    • Bypasses road congestion entirely
    • Requires minimal land acquisition
    • Reduces emissions and noise pollution
    • Delivers predictable travel times
    • Scales affordably for cities and private operators
    • Supports equitable access to mobility regardless of income

UrboTram is not a distant vision—it is a deployable solution to today’s most pressing urban transportation challenges.
