The Guayaquil Aerovia ropeway is an essential transport facility for shortening the travel between Duran and Guayaquil. This alternative transport assists 40,000 passengers in covering the distance between the two places daily.

  • It was shocking when the video of an unidentified couple getting intimate in one of the cable cars appeared online. The clip quickly went viral, gaining millions of views and criticism. In the same video, the security is audible, warning the couple of the consequences they may face, but the duo ignores it and proceeds with their actions.
  • According to the local news outlets, the cable car manager informs the passengers of Cable 117 that they are under security surveillance. Further warning that they will have to disembark at the next stop. Despite the notice, the couple continued their explicit acts mid-air.
  • At the end of the video, the couple made eye contact with the security camera while redressing themselves but remained unfazed. It appeared that the couple didn’t care about the consequences or even seemingly enjoyed the public attention.

The cable car company released a statement clarifying that they did not circulate the video.

Will the Guayaquil Aerovia Cable Car couple receive punishment?

There aren’t any updates on what possibly happened to the couple after they descended from the ropeway. However, one of the local news agencies has reported the possible charges the couple may face for their public indecency.

  • The Portuguese news agency, Expreso states that Ecuadorian legislation doesn’t identify public acts of intimacy as a crime. So, the couple will not face any criminal charges for their act. The local municipalities sometimes make rules and regulations involving bans and fines for such behavior.
  • Guayaquil has no rules regarding public indecency, and the couple is unlikely to face any consequences apart from public criticism. Netizens are particularly concerned about how this incident will affect people’s public behavior in the future and the negative image it caused for Cabin 117 of the Aerovia cable car.
