Wellington Cable Car is one of New Zealand's unique modes of public transportation, located in the heart of Wellington's central business district. As one of the country's only running funicular railways, it offers a distinct travel experience from the city to the suburb of Kelburn and the Cable Car summit. With a rich history dating back to 1889, when it was formed as the Kelburn & Karori Tramway Company, the Cable Car has remained an integral part of Wellington's transport operations.

Although the bus industry was deregulated in 1991, the Cable Car and its overhead trolley-bus wire network continued under Council ownership, with Wellington Cable Car Limited established as a Council Controlled Organisation. Notably, the Cable Car utilizes regenerative braking, improving its energy efficiency and reducing wear on braking system parts. With breathtaking views and an efficient transportation system, Wellington Cable Car offers a unique way to explore the city
