Flying Dutchman Funicular

The Flying Dutchman Funicular, also known as the Cape Point Funicular, is a funicular railway located at Cape Point, near the Cape of Good Hope in the Western Cape province of South Africa. The line runs from a lower station at the Cape Point car park, up an incline through dense fynbos to the upper lighthouse. It was the first commercial funicular of its kind in Africa, and takes its name from the legend of the Flying Dutchman ghost ship.
== History ==
The route that the line follows was originally serviced by a 16-seater ''Flying Dutchman'' bus. Due to the increasing number of visitors to the Cape, Cape Metropolitan Council put out a call for proposals to replace the bus service in early 1995. The proposal by Concor Holdings to install an electrically powered funicular was accepted as an environmentally friendly and novel means of transport. It was the first commercial funicular railway of its kind in Africa, and was produced entirely using South African resources.〔 The diesel bus ran the route for the last time in December 1996, after which time the funicular replaced it.〔 The funicular cars were refurbished in June 2010.〔
The name of the line comes from the legend of the Flying Dutchman ghost ship.〔
