Funicular Rail

Hong Kong's other 'tramway' is a cable-hauled funicular railway operated
by the Peak Tramways Company Limited from Central to The Peak. The
1.4-kilometre line began operation in 1888 and was modernised in 1989. It
climbs 373 metres on gradients as steep as one-in-two. The line serves an
average of 11 500 passengers a day, mostly sightseers and some residents
on The Peak. One-way fares for adults and children were $18 and $5
respectively.
