Kind of a weird way to say funicular
Funicular means there's a counterbalance, usually a second car is used as a counterweight.
I have no idea how this particular system works, and there's only one car.
Ah yeah that's right. It's an inclined elevator for sure
Lol.
You made me go read the article to find out more!
So, yep, definitely an elevator. But even elevators use a counterweight, which in a Funicular is another car, and it's along an incline.
Hmm, so is there really a difference?
