About Singapore Cable Car
The Singapore Cable Car is an aerial gondola system connecting Mount Faber on the mainland to Sentosa Island via HarbourFront. Opened in 1974, it was Singapore's first cable car system spanning Keppel Harbour. It operates two lines, the Mount Faber Line and Sentosa Line, offering panoramic views of the harbour, city skyline, and Sentosa attractions from enclosed cabins.

History of Singapore Cable Car
Opened on 15 February 1974, the Singapore Cable Car was the first system in the world to span a harbour, linking Mount Faber to Sentosa. It was built to provide access to Sentosa when the island was being developed as a leisure destination and has since been upgraded with new cabins and the addition of the intra-island Sentosa Line in 2015.
Culture & Context
An iconic leisure attraction linking mainland Singapore to Sentosa, the cable car is a long-standing symbol of Sentosa's development as a resort island and a popular way for visitors to view the harbour and southern islands.
