About the amazing link between Singapore’s Faber Peak and Sentosa Island Since 1974, Singapore Cable Car has been the only cableway in the country. It goes from Faber Peak on the mainland to the island resort of Sentosa and then to the Merlion or the beach at Siloso. Today, people can ride the cable cars on the Mount Faber Line and the Sentosa Line, which have more than 100 seats and stretch for almost 5 km. The full Sentosa-HarbourFront skyline and the resort island can be seen from the air during a “joyride” on the Cable Car Sky Network. As the cabins fly over the forest, through a skyscraper, over the harbor, and through the jungle, sand, and sea, the view changes. Our service agents are there to make sure that everyone who rides the cable car has a good time. The Singapore Cable Car is open from 8.45 a.m. to 10 p.m. (the last ride is at 9.30 p.m.).
The famous 2S building connecting Singapore’s mainland to Sentosa Island was starting to show its age after 35 years of use. Also, the airport needed to be updated to handle the huge increase in passenger flow. Every month, a million tourists visit Singapore, so the airport needed to be updated.
There are three stops on the gondola lift. The drive station is on Mount Faber, a hill on the main island that is filled with lush tropical plants. Level 15 of HarbourFront Tower Two is where the intermediate stop is. There are a lot of bus stops, the end of the Sentosa Express train, and a subway stop near the VivoCity shopping mall. Sentosa Island is where the last stop is. The gondolas have big windows that let in a lot of light and have tables inside for Sky DiningTM in the evening. These are easy to put in place and take off.
The inside and outside of the 7-Star VIP Jeweled Cabin are full of Swarovski diamonds. It also has a crystal panel glass floor, leather seats, a minibar, an iPod/iPhone docking station with a music system, and a crystal panel glass ceiling. The people who run the cable cars are sure that they will take up to 1.7 million people a year in the near future. The gondolas’ Jewel LEDs shine like gems against the night sky, which is how the Jewel Cable Car Ride got its name.

Advice for people who are going to the Singapore Cable Car for the first time
- Try to plan your trip so that you can see the view both during the day and at night. Both views are beautiful, but they show Sentosa Island and the Singapore shore from different points of view.
- On sunny days, the cable car rooms can get hot and stuffy. Even though there are fans inside the car, make sure the windows are slightly open for more air flow.
- If you are picky about lighting for photography, you can open the window and take pictures without the tint or glass reflection messing up the shot.
- On weekends, the Mount Faber Line is most busy in the late morning and afternoon. If you are traveling by yourself, you might have to share a house with other people.
- If you want to get back on the cable car at any of the four stops, you have to get in line. This is because the places where people get on and off the bus are separate.
- The cable car is pretty big, and it’s easy for 8 people to fit inside. It can even fit in a baby’s stroller.

Evening is the best time to visit Singapore because the weather is cooler and you can see the sunset while the city comes to life at night.
Visitor Tips:
- If you like taking pictures, plan your trip so that you can see Singapore both during the day and at night so you can get great shots. The Singapore Cable Car ticket includes a flexible round-trip.
