Insider tips for first time visitors to the Singapore Cable Car
- Try to time your round trip journey so that you can cover the day time and night time view. Both the views are spectacular and offer different perspectives of the Sentosa Island and Singapore waterfront.
- The cable car cabins can get stuffy on sunny days. While there are fans inside the car, ensure you leave the windows slightly open for extra ventilation.
- If you are particular about lighting for photography, you can open the window and take pictures without the tint or glass reflection affecting the photograph.
- Late mornings and afternoons on weekends are especially crowded on the Mount Faber Line. If you are a solo traveler, then you may have to share the cabin with others.
- If you wish to re-board the cable car at any of the four stations, you will have to line up in the boarding line. This is because the boarding and alighting areas are separate.
- The cable car is quite spacious and fits 8 adults comfortably. It can even fit in a stroller for a baby.
