WHY DID WE EVER STOP THE CABLECARS IN DUNEDIN?

A question that is often put to us at Cableways. Now is your chance to get behind a Dunedin business venture committed to their return. The proposal advocates a cablcar running from the Railway Station, through the Octagon to a terminus at Nairn St. Really just an extension of the old Kaikorai route(being the Lower Stuart St section).

Here's some advantages that we forsee(in no particular order):

• a practical means of transporting the public into and out of town, reducing traffic in Central City
• a great view of the city and harbour, heading up the hill and from Roslyn
• a fantastic addition to the tourist trade in Dunedin, in particular the burgeoning cruise ship trade
• with the stops going up the hill being at Moana Pool and Strathmore Crescent, an increase in local trade for Moana Pool and Roslyn shopping centre-including great views of the city from the latter. 
• If you want to know more: go now to www.cablecar.co.nz read and enjoy and register your support.
