Slope car

[1] The system is introduced generally when there are steep slopes or stairs between entrance gates and buildings.

Slope cars generally function as amenities that provide accessibilities for elderly or handicapped people visiting particular places, such as parks, golf courses, or hotels.

As most lines move fairly slowly, people without disabilities often find it faster to walk the same routes on foot, rather than to use slope cars.

A car starts when a user pushes a button, and it automatically stops at the selected destination.

In 1966, Yoneyama Industory, an agricultural machinery maker in Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture, invented "Monorack" (モノラック, Monorakku), a freight-only rack monorail system.

Slope cars are similar in some ways to personal rapid transit systems in that they offer on-demand service for individuals or small numbers of passengers.
