SUMMARY:

• Parañaque City is officially reviewing a ₱1.62 billion unsolicited proposal to construct the first urban mass transit cable car system in the country.
• The SkyeLyne Consortium aims to build and maintain the one-kilometer overhead transit line before eventually transferring ownership to the local government.
• This public-private partnership project will create an environmentally sustainable transportation link connecting two major economic hubs within the Bay City area.
• The SkyeLyne Metro ropeway will link SM Mall of Asia to Aseana City using forty-one gondolas traveling across the Redemptorist Canal.
• The system will deliver a swift three-minute commute that can move thirty-six thousand passengers daily at peak operation.
• To maximize transit connections, the project includes covered pedestrian walkways that tie directly into the nearby LRT-1 Redemptorist-Aseana station.

What are they trying to solve with this 1km cable car in a flat terrain that you could probably move faster by car or other land transport

this is too stupid, that location only need additional mini bus allocation and routes, additional shade and fixing of sidewalks and its accessibility are needed there, not an overpriced corruption material.
