The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway reopened Friday morning, the first car leaving for the 2 1/2 mile ascent from the base station at 8 a.m. The last car will come down from the peak at 6 p.m.

The world’s largest rotating tram car will initially open Friday through Monday.

The tramway has been closed since mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Officials are requiring Tram-goers to adhere to a list of new policies aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19 in order to ride, including:

— Reservations are required for all visitors;

— Tram cars will now depart approximately every 20 minutes to allow staff time to sanitize cars between each trip;

— Car capacities have been reduced to allow for social distancing;

— A portion of each car will be set aside for annual passholders;

— Face coverings must be worn inside the Valley and Mountain stations, and in the tram cars, but not in the state park; and
