History and Facts
The funicular cable car of Bergen

Fl๘ibanen is Bergen's biggest tourist attraction and one of Norway's most visited sights. It is the only funicular cable car for passengers in Scandinavia, with over 1 million passengers a year over the past few years. Here is a short history of Fl๘ibanen.





From idea to reality
The idea to build a means of transport to Fl๘yen was put forward as early as 1895 by John Lund, a Bergen resident and member of the Norwegian parliament. Factory owner Chr. Pettersen wanted to turn the idea into reality and applied for permission to build and operate "elevators for passenger transport" from Heggen to "Flaggstangen" in the Fjellveien road. The city council approved the project but it was shelved after the operator failed to raise the necessary capital.




In 1907, manager Nordstrand applied for permission to operate a cable car on the same route. He also wanted to extend it to Fl๘yen. The plan was to connect the cable car to the tram network. Both projects were based on plans to use electricity from Bergen's steam power station.






Bergen's cable car project became known around the world, and European newspapers reported on the plans. A/S Fl๘ibanen was founded in 1912 with Waldemar Platou as the company's first managing director.








Fl๘ibanen starts operating
The Fl๘ibanen project was based on similar cable cars in southern Germany, Switzerland and northern Italy and its design was similar to that of the Merkur line in Baden-Baden. Fl๘ibanen's first cars - made out of oiled teak and partially open - were made by Maschinenfabrik Esslingen in the town of the same name. The cars could carry up to 65 passengers. The steel cable which pulled the cars was designed to withstand 8-10 times the power it was normally exposed to. In the event of the cable breaking, the cars would stop after a fall of just 1-2 metres. The brakes were designed to screw the cars to the rails and they worked both automatically and manually. Regular passenger traffic commenced on 15 January 1918.




Operation and renovation

The well-known red and blue colours of the Fl๘ibanen cars were introduced in the early 1950s - around the same time as the first synchronised model of the cable car was installed at the upper station. The cars were replaced for the first time in 1954, after 36 years. Sadly, the old cars were not preserved. Over the 36-year period since the railway opened, manufacturing had developed at a lightning speed and the new cars had a modern and elegant shape. They were supplied by H๘nefoss Karosserifabrikk (H๘ka) and the undercarriages came from von Roll in Switzerland. The cars could carry up to 80 passengers. In these cars, the engine was operated by an onboard driver. Previously, the engines had been operated by a person stationed at Fl๘yen who maintained contact with the driver with the help of a signal pole. One of the 1954 cars, the red no. 2 car, is now exhibited in the tram hall of Bergen's technical museum at M๘hlenpris.




The cars were replaced for the third time in 1974. As in 1954, these cars were also lifted on to the rails at Promsgate station and pulled up to the meeting point halfway up the track. These cars can also carry up to 80 passengers and were made by von Roll in Switzerland. In 1987 the engine room at Fl๘yen was modernised, and the drivers began operating the cars via radio signals. A new 190 horse power engine was installed together with light signal communication between the cars. These cars were lifted off the tracks on 26 September 2002.

The 4th generation cable cars
In the autumn of 2002, Fl๘ibanen was closed for seven weeks while it underwent the most extensive renovation in the company's history. The cable cars, tracks, engines, stations and ticketing system all underwent a complete renewal. Fl๘ibanen's upper and lower stations were modernised and expanded at the end of the 1990s. The three interim stations were refurbished in autumn 2002. The new cars have increased Fl๘ibanen's capacity to 100 passengers from 80 previously. The cars normally travel at a speed of 4 metres per second. All stations have an electronic ticketing system and electronic ticket barriers. There are also automatic ticket machines available to passengers when the lower station is unstaffed. The cars, which have been specially designed for Fl๘ibanen by industrial designer Espen Thorup, have a contemporary, yet classic shape with larger windows, improved comfort and better views for passengers.

Safety is paramount


Safety has always been paramount on Fl๘ibanen. The security and safety inspector Det Norske Veritas carries out annual brake tests, cable checks and a general control of the funicular equipment. Fl๘ibanen's own staff also carry out regular checks in accordance with strict internal safety regulations. There has never been a serious accident on Fl๘ibanen. The comprehensive braking system works both automatically and manually and ensures that the cars stop in the event of any irregularities. Cable cars are subject to exceptionally strict safety regulations and Fl๘ibanen is one of the safest means of transport.
