The People Mover is a driverless aerial tramway consisting of four cabins that run on rubber rollers in northern Venice, connecting the harbor with the parking garages Tronchetto <\/a>and Piazzale Roma <\/a>connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Venice<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It didn't open until 2010. It runs back and forth between the two terminal stops every 7 minutes. The route is only about 800 meters long. There is no fixed schedule. Although the total capacity is a maximum of 200 people, you\u2019ll find that it\u2019s usually very sparsely occupied.
There are 3 ticket machines at each station where you can purchase a ticket for 1.50 \u20ac per person per ride. So be sure to have some change on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The image shows the three People Mover stops. The two terminal stops are located at the two parking garages at the Piazzale Roma<\/a> and on Tronchetto Parking Garage<\/a>. The train station is just a 5-minute walk from the stop at the Piazzale Roma<\/a> removed. The Port of Venice can accommodate up to 6 cruise ships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you'll ever be allowed to dock here in Venice again is anyone's guess. There are rumors that you're welcome back, but whether and when that will happen is highly uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The stop at Piazzale Roma<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Venice<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The station at the Piazzale Roma<\/a> It is located exactly between the two parking garages: Autorimessa, shown on the left in the picture (the light-colored building), and Garage San Marco, shown on the right in the picture (the yellow building). There is a regular staircase, an escalator, and an elevator leading to the train platform, which is located on the first floor. As at the other stations, there are three ticket machines on the ground floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The bus stop at the harbor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Venice<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The People Mover is a single-track elevated train. Two trains constantly shuttle back and forth. Right in the middle, at the harbor station, the track is briefly double-tracked so that the two trains can pass each other on the single-track section. There is a staircase, an escalator, and an elevator leading to the train, which is also located on the first floor here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The stop at Tronchetto<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Venice<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The stop at the Tronchetto Parking Garage<\/a> is the northern stop. It serves as an access point for tourists who park their cars in the Tronchetto parking garage or who arrive in Venice by tour bus and let their passengers get off here. This is because tour buses are NOT allowed to drive up to the Piazzale Roma<\/a> drive through.

Tourists arriving in Venice by tour bus must take Line 2 at the stop Tronchetto <\/a>go into town or take the People Mover to the Piazzale Roma<\/a> and continue on from there. From the stop Piazzale Roma<\/a> Several bus routes serve various destinations in Venice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Technology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Venice<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A cable pulls the two cable cars forward. The cars themselves run on quiet, comfortable rubber rollers, much like a car. At the middle station in the harbor, the track is double-tracked for a short stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
