Singapore Cable Car
The Singapore Cable Car provides an aerial link from Mount Faber
on the main island of Singapore to the resort island of Sentosa across
the Keppel Harbour. Opened on 15 February 1974, it was the first aerial
ropeway system in the world to span a harbour.
However, it is not the first aerial ropeway system to span the sea. For
instance, Awashima Kaijō Ropeway in Japan, built in 1964, goes over a short
strait to an island. Although referred
to by its operators as a cable car, the listed system is in fact a bi-cable gondola
lift and not an aerial tramway.
