The present invention relates to a passenger transportation system, in particular a ski lift system in the form of a chair lift system or a circulating gondola lift system, having a main conveyor, in particular a chair lift or a circulating gondola lift, having a boarding/disembarking platform to board and/or alight from the main conveyor moving past the boarding/disembarking platform as well as having an auxiliary conveyor in the form of a conveyor floor for the conveying of persons to and/or from the boarding/disembarking platform. It is proposed in accordance with the invention that the conveyor floor describes a curved conveyor path which includes a first conveyor path section which feeds to the boarding platform or feeds away from the disembarking platform at an acute angle inclined to the conveying direction of the main conveyor and a second conveyor path section which extends substantially parallel to the conveying direction of the main conveyor at the boarding platform.
A passenger transportation system, in particular a ski lift system in the form of a chair lift system or of a circulating gondola lift system, having a main conveyor (1), in particular a chair lift (2) or a circulating gondola lift (3), having a boarding/disembarking platform (4) for the entering and/or exiting of the main conveyor (1) moving past the boarding/disembarking platform (4), as well as having an auxiliary conveyor (5) in the form of a conveyor floor (6) for the conveying of passengers to or from the boarding/disembarking platform (4), wherein the conveyor floor (6) has a curved conveyor path (7) which includes a first conveyor path section (8) which runs slantingly to the direction of conveying of the main conveyor (1) toward the boarding/disembarking platform (4) or leads away from the boarding/disembarking platform (4), as well as having a second conveyor path section (9) which extends substantially parallel to the direction of conveying of the main conveyor (1) at the boarding/disembarking platform (4).
