                                   intervention
• Interventions in public transportation generate benefits that go beyond mobility.
• TransMiCable had short-term effects on:
   •   Reduction in travel time
   •   Satisfaction with transportation and physical environment
   •   The levels of physical activity in cable car users are higher than in other modes of transport
   •   Females observed performing moderate or vigorous physical activity increased in the Illimaní park
   •   Reduction in exposure and inhaled dose of PM2.5, eBC, and CO per trip
   •   Increased health-related quality of life in females
   •   Our Voice by the people approach
         • Elucidates enablers and facilitators of well-being in the community and the importance of the cable car and the urban
           transformation to reduce stigma of the locality
         • Facilitates a dialogue with stakeholders
         • Joint efforts between academia, the community and policy makers have the potential to provide a better understanding
           of programs and will help to replicate urban interventions aimed at sustainability and equity.
