Another image showing the perspective of the cable car from Table Mountain. After a few questions from my previous image, here is some info.
The lower cable station is 363m above sea level, and the top one is 1067m above sea level. The trip only takes a couple of minutes.

AS much as I don;t like heights, I love the perspective. Really neat. I guess I would probably do it if someone asked me nicely.

There is a great Iron Maiden song about cable cars called "Where eagles dare" that is based on the film of the same name that starred Clint Eastwood. You may want to hear it. Love the lyrics in that!

Thanks a lot guys and Denise.

Gus, the cable cars take 80 people at once. They are fairly large. They also go on weight. Im not sure what ave weight they allow per person, but if there are a few heavies, it obviously wont take 80 people, but less.
