Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 878 articles in the main category, and specifying|topic= will aid in categorization.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.

The People Mover in Venice (Italian: People Mover)[1] is an automated elevated shuttle train, which connects the Piazzale Roma—the major transportation hub of the city—and the Tronchetto island with a car parking facility. The train also makes a stop at the Marittima station where the passenger terminal of the Port of Venice is located.[5]
The system's two four-car trains are pulled by a cable similar to a funicular,[7] but with shallow gradients track:
it reaches a maximum of 6.2% at the section crossing the Tronchetto channel, and is less than 5% over the rest of the track.[8]
Each of the two trains can accommodate 200 passengers.[9]
The whole 870-metre-long (0.5 mi) journey takes just over three minutes, including the stop next to the cruise ship terminal.[6] The rail gauge is 1220 mm, difference in altitude between terminal stations 0.58 m.[11]
In mid-2023, the fare was €1.50. Passengers who already have an unused ACTV land-bus ticket can validate that instead of paying the fare to ride the People Mover.[12]
