The new funicular features modern vehicles with improved views, increased capacity, and a redesigned exterior with more glass.

The journey from the Ujezd station to the top will take 10-minute intervals throughout the day, with operating hours from 7am to 10:15pm. The renovation cost 11.2 million euros, and the fare will increase to 4.10 euros, with discounts available for tickets purchased through the PID Litacka smartphone app.
