Monongahela Incline
The oldest funicular in the United States still in operation, opened in 1870. Its lower station is right by the station square, and commuters still ride it.
The Monongahela Incline climbs about 110 meters at a gradient of around 35 degrees. Its cars are more modern than those of the Duquesne Incline. The lower station is directly across from Station Square, making it easy to transfer to the light rail. The upper station is next to the eastern overlook at the end of Grandview Avenue, with views of the Smithfield Street Bridge and downtown. The fare is the same as for buses. Combining it with the Duquesne Incline creates a loop, going up on one and down on the other.
