Reopening in 2018
After closing in 1989, the Trebević cable car was reconstructed between 2017 and 2018, and officially reopened on 6 April 2018. A total of 33 modern cable cars make up the new system, which can transport up to 1,200 passengers from the city to Trebević per hour, with a ride duration of nine minutes each way. Mufid Garibija, the designer of the Trebević cable railway station and the starting station, said that the entire lane would be panoramic, and the stations and gondolas would dominate the glass, which would contribute to the enjoyment of visitors in view of Sarajevo. "Gondolas will be in the colors of the Olympic circles and will reflect the unity and multi-ethnicity of Sarajevo," said Garibija. The cable car has 33 gondolas, of which five are in the colors of the Olympic circles: blue, red, yellow, green and black, one in the colour of the flag of BiH, while the other ones are black. To announce the cable car's reopening, a promotional song named "Trebević opet silazi u grad" (eng: ''Trebević is coming to the city again'') was officially presented on 23 March 2018.
