31 Jan 08 Elevador Lacerda

Like the elevator in Lisbon, this striking construction in Salvador transports the public from one level of the town to the next, at the same time providing a perfect view of the bay coastline below.

Apparently the elevator manages to carry approximately 28,000 people per day at a cost of R$0.05 per 38 second ride.
