    aww … “The cableway replaced a funicular, on the same route, in 2010.” … cable car is probably better choice but the funicular was just plain fun

      They are technically trains*, if you don’t want to consider them their own thing. There are plenty of languages where the name doesn’t contain “car” if that’s your metric.

      *or elevators I guess

        I was just joking but yeah maybe we need a different name for them in English. Wikipedia says Cable Tram? That works seems a bit awkward to me though.
