How it's used
Refers specifically to vehicles pulled by cables, distinguishing it from general trains or buses. While it covers both funiculars like the Peak Tram and aerial ropeways like Ngong Ping 360, the term is strongly associated with these specific tourist attractions in Hong Kong. It is rarely used to describe generic public transport.
