Cable cars: photographic evidence (2): communication channels and messages

The following photographs refer to road signs signaling stops for cable cars. One of them is in Chinese. There is also a photograph on safety rules. Last, but not least, there is a photograph showing part of the interior of the cable car. Note the chord that runs along the top of the vehicle: it is exclusively used by drivers to communicate between themselves. Pulling the chord twice is a request for a stop. Pulling it once is a signal for moving on.
