From May to September, 67 Pokémon-themed cable car cabins at the Mount Faber Line will be decorated with Pokémons. 

This is part of the Line’s 50th anniversary celebrations. 

The cabins will feature five different interior designs, each themed around first-generation Pokémon Pikachu and Eevee, as well as Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly from the latest Pokémon video games.
