Singapore Cable Car (SCC) gets 7 upgraded SkyOrb cabins for 50th anniversary. The SkyOrbs have been in the discussion and design for five years and are the world’s first chrome-finished spherical cable car cabins. The new cabins have glass bottoms and a front-facing portal window to add to the rider experience, and the reflective chrome exterior and rings of light add dimension to the skyline. The new cabins are SCC’s fifth generation cabins and have joined the previous 67 cable car cabins on the Mount Faber Line.
