Travel around Sentosa with new cable car line
Visitors to Sentosa can now make their way around the island via cable cars with a new cable car line.
The Sentosa Line brings visitors to three stations - Siloso Point, Imbiah Lookout and Merlion.
However, it is not connected with the existing Mount Faber Line that brings visitors to Sentosa from the main island of Singapore. Therefore, in order to take the other line, visitors will have to walk between the Sentosa Station and Imbiah Lookout Station.
Measuring a total of 880 metres in length and more than 80 metres above ground, Sentosa line has a total of 51 cable cars, with a carrying capacity of 1600 passengers per hour in a single direction. Its cable car system is the same as the one used for the Mount Faber Line.
Local visitors can purchase an adult single-ride ticket for S$9 or an adult unlimited-ride ticket for S$19 a day.
"I find it better than the one I used to use for Mount Faber," said one Singaporean. "Because it's different, you can see the whole island. I was here in the old days, when the train used to go around. And this is actually a different version of seeing the whole island, from a high point."
"It's very impressive because we don't have cable car back home," added a tourist. "It's very impressive and the view is very beautiful."
