Abstract
The evolution of different urban public transport modes is pushed by different user demand levels, urban environment patterns and even natural constraints and barriers. The desire to overcome geographical and topographical barriers such as mountains, valleys and water, which cannot be efficiently served by conventional transport modes (bus, trolleybus, tram, metro, etc.), led to the introduction of aerial tramways or aerial cable-cars. Aerial tramway system is defined as the transportation technology that moves people in motor-less, engine-less vehicles that are propelled by a steel cable. Although technical, technological and economic aspects of aerial tramway introduction are well documented, very little effort has been made in defining the optimal market for this transport mode. The aim of this paper is to define potential aerial tramway users’ attitudes, opinions and requirements. Specific methodology is defined taking into account the differences and particularities of each user group: citizens, domestic and foreign visitors. Methodology is applied in Belgrade, Serbia.
