A new chance for the zoo tram? filed on: 18.08.2006 (18th Aug 2006) VCS has started collecting signatures with a view towards bringing about a referendum for a tram extension to the zoo. The current Zoo terminus is a short walk from the zoo entrance. Recent expansion of the zoo has increased visitor numbers while also moving the main entrance further away. This has bolstered the case for better transport. To address this, the city of Zürich evaluated a tram extension in 2000 which would have cost 11 million for a 400 meter link. This was rejected by a council decision in 2001. Partly as an alternative to this, the Zoo looked into an aerial cable car from Stettbach (which is actually more expensive than the tram link, but would be financed privately). This cable car has met with some opposition. source: 20 Minuten
