What is Funicular?
A funicular (is a transportation system that uses cable-driven cars to connect the end-points and possibly intermediate points along a steep incline. By definition, a funicular uses two counterbalanced passenger cars attached to the opposite ends of a cable, which is looped over a pulley at the upper end of a track. A funicular's two cars move in concert: as one ascends, the other descends simultaneously, an arrangement that distinguishes a funicular from other cable-guided transportation systems — e.g., a single-car inclined elevator. The term funicular derives from the Latin word funiculus, the diminutive of funis, meaning 'rope'.
