The Keçiören Gondola ( Turkish: Keçiören teleferiği) is a two-station gondola-type line of aerial lift passenger transport system situated in Keçiören district of Ankara, Turkey. Opened in April 2008, the 1,653 m (5,423 ft) long line connects Kavacık Subayevleri neighborhood (Atatürk station) in the south with Tepebaşı neighborhood (Cumhuriyet station) in the north within Keçiören. It is operated by Keçiören Municipality. [1] [2]
The line was designed and the system was delivered by the Turkish ropeway producing company STM Sistem Teleferik from İzmir. [3] The construction works completed in November 2007, and following the test runs, the line went in service in April 2008. It is the longest urban gondola lift line in Turkey. [1] [2] [4]
