AI overview
A funicular is a cable-powered railway system that travels up and down steep slopes or hillsides, using counterbalanced cars to move passengers efficiently. These systems are commonly built in hilly or mountainous cities to help people reach higher elevations without the difficulty of climbing or walking up steep terrain.
