Abstract
A cable car system has two pairs of supporting cables that are respectively anchored in a valley station and in a mountain station. Cabins or similar people movers travel along the supporting cables while they are coupled to a self-contained traction cable. The cabins can be decoupled from the traction cable, to be moved in the stations along guide rails. The self-contained traction cable is formed with two loops, forming two strands in each case which are moved in the same direction and to which the cabins can be coupled.
