I love it when the system of transport complements the landscape it's in and funiculars do a great job of tackling the steep hills and weaving past buildings above and below the ground.
Is it me or does the second funiculair have a steeper slope then the other ones? I’ve been in a funiculair only once as far as I can remember and that was in 1988 in Tirol during a winter vacation. I was 5 years old, the only thing I remember is that slope was quite steep and it was a rather odd looking train. Also I’ve seen them once or twice in Switzerland in the early 90’s during summer vacations. Switzerland at the time already was a great place to see unuasual lifts and transportation devices. No vacation in the alpes is complete without going at least one in a cable car. As a kid these cablecars really caught my interrest and I’ve always enjoyed them.
All of the funiculars, apart from the second one, are going up the same hill, and all finish at the same top location. The longer then are, the less slope, so the first one has the least slope. The second one is going up a steeper hill west of the others.
Those are cool! By the way, Beno, you should come to the U.S.A. because they have a lot of interesting elevators here and I know you hate generics with Dewhurst buttons.
I don't understand your question. Just ask yourself why abandoning public transportation core services to climb and descend a 300m high hill just in the middle of City in less time than Buses and Metro that are forced to follow its profile... 🤔
Beno - Putting the FUN back into Funicular! :D

Nice
Is the Montesanto funicular located in the same building where Montesanto metro station line 2 is?
The first one looks like a basic train. Basically like finnish metro. :_D

Thanks for this video! It's very interesting to see this technique of public transport.
Congratulations!
Great video. Like the music in-between clips and the door motors on the last 2 trains sounded awesome! 😀
Nice video! This got in my homepage somehow even if I live there and take some of these very frequently

The lift at the end Worth's a video of its own. I wonder if you surfed it?
It is a cheap hydraulic. Also there is a camera pointing at it
Very interesting way to get around
Yatta!!!!
I'm honestly surprised they've not been abandoned yet
