The cable.car is really a carriage which hangs from a strong steel cable suspended in the air.It moves along the cable with other cars on pulleys,the wheels of which are turned by electric motors.The cars are painted in eye catching colours and spaced at regular intervals。.Each Car call seat up to six persons.After the passengers have entered a car, they are 10cked in from outside by an attendant.They have no control over the movement of the car.
Before long,the passengers get a breath-taking view through the glass windows of the modem city, the bustling harbour.and the several islands off the coast.The car is suspended so high in the air that ships on the sea look like small boats,and boats like toys.On a clear day,both the sky above and the sea below look beautifully blue.
In contrast to the fast-moving traffic on the ground,the cars in the air move in a leisurely manner, allowing passengers more than enough time to take in the scenery during the brief trip to the island of Sentosa.After a few hours on Sentosa,it will be time again to take a cable.Car back to Mount Faber.The return journey is no less exciting than the outward trip.
