A funicular, also known as an inclined plane or cliff railway,is a cable railway in which a cable attached to a pair of tram-like vehicles on rails moves them up and down a steep slope; the ascending and descending vehicles counterbalance each other.
These systems were build to help people to climb around 600 meters upto Taksim hill or to Galata under difficult circumstances such as rain and hot weather.
