Construction is nearing completion on the Emirates Air Line, a giant cable car crossing the River Thames that will link two Olympic venues. When finished, the 60 million pound project will take 5 minutes to ferry passengers at heights of up to 300ft across a distance of 1.1km. Transport officials hope the 34-car gondola will carry about 2,500 passengers per hour across the river, about the equivalent of 30 London buses. Source: Transport for London
