'The Shortest Funicular In The World'
The city of Zagreb owns the shortest funicular in the world. The entire track is exactly 66 meters long what makes one use it for fun more than anything else. Unless you are really old and cannot walk or you are a tourist in need of bragging rights. Taking the funicular when you could've walked the distance is an event, after all!
Be it as may, it's running in its original form for over a hundred years. This is due to the serious daily inspections of five men, whose only job is to take the little stairs up and down and check on the funicular's integrity before they go for a pint. In a country, where working for the administration is a highly-sought job, no wonder the government needs to create a bunch of useless jobs in order to stay in power.
Oh, lucky me, the brave men are here! I am so happy to be able to testify of the hard labour undertaken for the benefit of the entire population. I overheard that everything seems to be in perfect condition and that it is safe for people to transport themselves over the shortest distance in the world.
There is also an advanced digital ticketing system. Unfortunately, it probably fails to deliver so often that the two additional people were employed, both in the bottom and the top booth of this astonishing enterprise.
The security is on seriously a high level. This resulted in great statistics. In a century-long tradition, no passenger was ever hurt. Even if it was, I'm sure it was swiftly put under the rug. What kind of people would we be if we let a single drunkard destroy the perfect numbers? I want to take another picture but I am quickly removed because the funicular is about to launch. Safety first! It's almost like a space program.
Aren't we lucky?
Enjoy your day! :D
