La Paz and El Alto Roadblocks Cause Mi Teleférico Contingency Plan La Paz, Bolivia – Roadblocks and protests in La Paz and El Alto, Bolivia, on June 4th, 2025, led to a surge in demand for the Mi Teleférico cable car system. In response, Mi Teleférico implemented a contingency plan to manage the increased passenger numbers. "We have cards for the three preferential fares at all stations," explained a Mi Teleférico representative in an interview featured in a Bolivia TV report. "We've seen very high demand these days, so we're also restocking our stations to avoid shortages." He confirmed that no problems had been encountered with ticket sales and that they had recently received a new stock of cards. The contingency plan included deploying additional staff to assist passengers at stations and organize lines. The representative emphasized that this was crucial in managing the higher-than-usual passenger volume during peak hours. The quick response of Mi Teleférico ensured the continued smooth operation of the cable car system, despite the challenges presented by the city-wide blockades.
