funicular pathways

Funicular pathways are inclined transportation systems designed to move people and goods up and down steep slopes. They typically consist of two cars connected by a cable, which runs through a pulley system at the top station. As one car ascends, the other descends, balancing each other’s weight and reducing energy use. Funiculars are often used in hilly or mountainous areas, providing efficient and reliable access where traditional roads or cable cars may be less practical. They are valued for their safety, environmental friendliness, and ability to navigate challenging terrain with minimal infrastructure.
