2022-01-26
Now we lightly touched on why the tram was created, but let's dive a little deeper. As we mentioned, the Tram was largely born out of the want for convenience and one person, in particular, was able to seek that out and deliver. Scottish designer Alexander Findlay Smith, who was living on The Peak at the time, started searching for ways to easily ascend the steep mountain. To gain inspiration, he travelled around the world to places within Europe and North America. Luckily, afterward, he had the idea to develop the first cable funicular tramway in Asia.
