===Stations===

The majority of funiculars have two stations, one at each end of the track. However, some systems have been built with additional [[intermediate station]]s. Because of the nature of a funicular system, intermediate stations are usually built symmetrically about the mid-point; this allows both cars to call simultaneously at a station. Examples of funiculars with more than two stations include the [[Wellington Cable Car]] in [[New Zealand]] (five stations, including one at the [[passing loop]])<ref>[https://www.wellingtoncablecar.co.nz/ Wellington Cable Car]</ref> and the [[Carmelit]] in [[Haifa]], Israel (six stations, three on each side of the passing loop).<ref name="carmelit">{{cite web |url=http://www.carmelithaifa.com/carmelit-haifa/carmelit-haifa-about/ |title=Carmelit Haifa – The most convenient way to get around the city |publisher=Carmelit |access-date=2018-07-04}}</ref>

A few funiculars with asymmetrically placed stations also exist. For example, the [[Petřín funicular]] in [[Prague]] has three stations: one at each end, and a third (Nebozízek) a short way up from the passing loop.<ref>[https://www.prague.eu/en/object/places/1354/petrin-funicular-lanova-draha-na-petrin Petřín Funicular (Lanová dráha na Petřín)] – prague.eu</ref> Because of this arrangement, carriages are forced to make a technical stop a short distance down from the passing loop as well, for the sole purpose of allowing the other car to call at Nebozízek.
