Sentosa Cable Car Opened
Friday, 15th February 1974
The Sentosa Cable Car provides an aerial link from Mount Faber on the main island of Singapore to the resort island of Sentosa across the Keppel Harbour. It was the first aerial ropeway system in the world to span a harbour.
The bi-cable, detachable-grip gondola lift system has three stations, namely The Jewel Box Station at Mount Faber, the HarbourFront Station at HarbourFront and the Sentosa Station at Sentosa. Two supporting towers are located between each pair of stations. This distance between The Jewel Box Station and the first tower is about 300 metres (1,000 ft.), from the first tower to the Harbourfront Station is 400 metres (1,300 ft.), from the Harbourfront Station to the second tower at 500 metres (1,640 ft.), and from the second tower to the Sentosa Station is 450 metres long.
