- 4 stops
A cabin enters the station every 15 seconds and travels the 3,25 km in less than 14 minutes.

If you simply want to take the ride, It’s easy to park at the top, near Şentepe’s station and do the round trip. It takes around 20-25 minutes and it is a good way to show Ankara to guest coming from abroad, before visiting other touristic sites in Ankara.
