A Ride in a Cable-car

A ride in a cable-car is one of the excitingand enjoyable experiences a child can have. In Switzerland, which is the homeof the cable-car, it is used mostly to take tourists up the slope of a mountain,to a restaurant from which one can have a bird-eye view of the surroundingcountry, or to a top of a ski-run, from which, in winter, skiers glide down thesnow covered the slope on skis. In Singapore, however, the cable-car takes onefrom the summit of a hill on the main island to a low hill on Sentosa, a resortisland just off the southern coast.

The cable-car is really a carriage which hangsfrom a strong steel cable suspended in the air. It moves along the cable withother cars on pulleys, the wheels of which are turned by electric motors. Thecars are painted in eye-catching colours and spaced at regular intervals. Eachcar can seat up six persons. After the passengers have entered a car, they arelocked in from outside by an attendant, they have no control over the movementof the car.

Before long, the passengers get a breath-takingview through the glass windows of the modern city, the bustling harbour, andthe several islands off the coast. The car is suspended to a high in the airthat slips on the sea look like small boats, and boats like toys. On a clearday, both the sky above and the sea below look beautifully blue.

In contrast to the fast-moving traffic on theground, the cars in the air move in a leisurely manner, allowing passengersmore than enough time to take in the scenery during the brief trip to theisland of Sentosa. After a few hours on Sentosa, it will be time again to takea cable-car back to Mount Faber. The return journey is no less exciting thanthe outward trip.
