I have never used anything like this strange 'transport thing' before. It's a combination of a vertical lift and a horizontal funicular, and it can be found in Genoa.

A blue, cubic cabin on a bogie, two tracks merging in a narrow radius in an underground room, red spools along the outer sides of the track

The two tracks merging in a bend, red spools with a rope sliding along on both sides

Straight underground tracks leading to a glass door at the end of the tracks, a waiting room for passengers behind it

The arched entrance with salmon-pink façade with ornaments, glass door with blue doorframe, rock face, overhead sign "Ascensore Montegalletto Balbo-Dogali"
