' J1 O" ~( c" _1 u8 r. L  T; p0 _; c# g【大紀元2012年06月25日訊】（大紀元記者周恆英國報導）倫敦交通局宣佈，6月28日，倫敦東部橫跨泰晤士河的纜車線路將開通。這條線路被稱為「阿聯酋空中線路」（Emirates Air Line），從格林威治（Greenwich）的O2體育場到和對面的ExCel展覽中心時間僅需5分鐘。 5.39.217.76! Q  a2 m/ m) V0 G- D. i% ]& g
原先外界一直擔心，這條線路是否能夠在奧運會7月27日開幕之前完成，沒想到竟然可以提前一個月開通。倫敦交通局為此投資了大約5千萬鎊，希望可以趁著奧運會的機會把成本收回。
( K6 h' H% d1 Q! l2 g' @tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb
( ?% z  \9 o' E9 m6 l: {經常使用纜車的人可以購買聯票，16鎊的票可以坐車十次。如果是外地人，沒有Oyster卡，那麼成年人單程需要花費4.30鎊，相當於每分鐘近一鎊錢。使用Oyster卡的成年人每次坐車收費3.20鎊，如果是15歲或者以下的兒童，現金買票需要2.20鎊，使用Oyster卡需要1.60鎊。

這是英國首個修建在城市地區的纜車，將成為吸引人的景觀，更重要的是，它將成為倫敦東部一個至關重要的橫跨泰晤士河的交通連接，有助於推動當地社區的經濟。奧運會期間，它還會成為遊客和運動員往來於ExCel展覽中心和O2體育場之間的重要交通工具。

6 w% P' c3 W. t' y" O當初計劃的時候，估計纜車線路的成本為2,500萬鎊，而且將全部由私人投資者承擔。但是，後來成本逐漸增加，線路雖然得到了阿聯酋航空公司十年的贊助合約，價值3,600萬鎊，仍然需要公共資金來填補不足的部份。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。! Q( r. L9 s2 g0 }% M5 e

原來英國也有新的東西建起來，希望這東西不會像香港的360那樣經常出現。不然的話，就會出現很多投訴！
