A Metro, Definitly Not A Subway

The city of Caracas (Venezuela) is in a valley surrounded by hills and mountains. many people live in the hills and work in the valley. Infrastructure is a major part of the problem in the barrios. A new and revolutionary approach to urban planning was developed by the founders of the urban-think tank in Caracas. A metro cable system connects the barrios in the outskirts of the city with the center's commercial area. The cable meant that a normal 2 1/2hour commute is
now only 20 minutes.
