The Pala Springs Aerial Tramway, also known as the Cable Car, is an aerial tramway appearing in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Description[]
The service is operated by Tramaer and features two terminals, one of which is located in Pala Springs at the intersection of Route 1 and Procopio Promenade, and the other is at the summit of Mount Chiliad.
Route 1 terminal serves as the main starting point, and is relatively larger as it hosts an attached café and bar and a smaller outbuilding with mountain bikes for hire. Mount Chiliad terminal mainly operates an observation deck to sightsee Los Santos and surrounding areas.
The café at the Route 1 terminal, also known as Skyview Pala Springs Cafébar is not accessible to the player, along with the bike hire post. Yet, parked mountain bikes may spawn around the outbuilding.
The cable car vehicle itself operates similarly to the trams in Los Santos. The player can enter the cable car at any time; however, they need to pay a $10 one-way fare. The player can enter the vehicle and walk around the capsule while it is parked in the terminal without paying a fare, but it won't leave the terminal while a player is inside unless the fare has been paid.
The capsules will wait at the station for 30 real-time seconds before departing if the player is not inside the vehicle. If the player has paid the fare, the tram will depart immediately. The trip takes two minutes and thirty seconds each way. Cars will arrive on alternate sides of the platform every 3 minutes approximately.
Pedestrians can be found inside the terminal building during daylight hours, supposedly waiting for trams, but they will not enter and ride.
Bicycles and motorcycles can also be taken on the tram by parking them inside before paying the fare.
Influence[]
The aerial tramway is most likely based on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, famous for being the largest rotating tramway in the world.
