In the article, on the example of ropeway functioning for three years at the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, we describe possibilities of improving traffic conditions in the city centre. The article presents the history of the ropeway and variability of traffic at the stage of its operation. Communication service for two stations was shown. Based on measurements of the traffic intensity for different users, we showed changes in the traffic in the area of campus. Further development of the cableways in connection with the expansion of the university was discussed.
