She saw fish making circles in the water of the Garonne. Jasmine, 38, is one of those Toulouse residents who have been tested Teleo out of curiosity. For the view and the feelings of emptiness. She did not find her cabin mates very attentive to aquatic fauna but had a “too cool” experience and recorded videos.

Twelve days after its commissioning, the fun effect of the longest urban cable car in France is undeniable and the inhabitants continue to treat themselves to round trips just for the panoramic trip. But the new public transport line – three stations over 3 kilometers between the Paul-Sabatier University, the University Hospital of Rangueil and the Oncopole – also passes the test of the testers. They compare, time this new green mode. And for some validate it with both feet. “For me, the car to go to work is over. What a pleasure ! », decrees Emmanuel bluntly. The 30-year-old, now a cyclist, lives in Portet, to the south-west, and works in Labège, to the south-east. He seems delighted to fly over the ring road rather than chomping at the bit.

Same resolution for Marie, who works at the CHU. Convinced, she has a strong desire to leave her “car in the garage” in favor of the bicycle or the bus. combined with Teleo. “I appreciated the ease of use, the view, the time saved and the comfort of being dropped off as close as possible to my department,” she says. Olivier is also a big fan. This inhabitant of Castanet, a fan of cycling, works in Portet. Now his day “starts well”. He saves time, makes smart jumps, and offers himself a “10-minute break above the Garonne” much more pleasant than “the shitty cycle path” he used and his gymkhanas between the cars on the side of Empalot.

Stomach ache and bad pickaxe for others

And then, of course, there are those disappointed with the trip. Like Rémi, who tried his luck for a one-off meeting at the Mirail by avoiding the obligatory passage through the city center by metro. Conclusion, he lost time and regrets, like other Internet users, the low possibilities of intermodality on the side of the Oncopole where is located, “in the middle of not much”, the only real parking- Teleo relay. As for Stéphane, his stomach “moderately supported the trip” with this light wind which made the cabins sway. “Between the heat, the yelling kids” and the impromptu 5-minute stop on the way back without information about the incident, his conversion to the cable car is not for now.

Adil, a resident of the hills of Pech-David played badly. He did his test on the Thursday of the famous first breakdown – “a computer bug on the operating system”, indicates Tisséo – hoping to avoid the 20 minute walk to the metro to go to work at Les Minimes. “Result of the races, an hour lost”, and a walk back up to get his car. He will wisely wait for September and a possible assessment of the number of breakdowns to retain the experience.

Moreover, even the most won over have suggestions for improving the service. Fouad would welcome “the addition of a person to manage the flow at peak times”. Emmanuel finds the limitation to one bike per cabin a bit stiff.

Thomas finally regrets that the cabins do not fly over his sector. And he gets carried away, suggesting building another cable car. For example, between “the city of Union, which is on a hill and a metro terminus like Borderouge or Balma-Gramont”.
