Baku Funicular, Funicular railway in Baku, Azerbaijan.

The Baku Funicular connects Neftchilar Avenue to Martyrs' Lane through a 455-meter track with two stations and passing section in between.

The transportation system opened in 1960 under the initiative of Alish Lambaranski, who served as the mayor of Baku at that time.

The funicular provides transportation to Highland Park, a central location where residents gather for social activities and celebrations.

The system operates from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM, carrying up to 1500 passengers daily.

Two coaches, designated as BF-1 and BF-2, move at 2.5 meters per second and complete their journey between stations in three minutes.
