Polybahn Zürich.

Ticket office of the lower station of the old Polybahn. The ticket staff were also responsible for operating the funicular. The operator of the lower station communicated that the car was ready to leave by a buzzer. The cars themselves were controlled from the upper station.

After rebuilding, the funicular became automatic, and tickets are now only available from machines. This picture was taken on the last day of operation of the old system, hence the flowers. 29.06.96.
