Lisbon's public transit system includes four funiculars, all of which are operated by Carris, the public surface transit operator. The first of these, the Lavra Funicular, opened in 1884 and rins between Largo da Anunciada and Rua Câmara Pestana. The next funicular, the Gloria Funicular, opened on October 24, 1885 and connects Praça Restauradores and Jardim de São Pedro de Alcântara in the Barrio Alto. The third funicular, the Bica Funicular, connects Largo do Calhariz with Rua de São Paulo and opened on June 28, 1892. All three were declared national monuments in 2002. The funicular cars themselves are the originals, though they have been refurbished and modernized over the years.
