A cable car is a container in platform. It is huge, closed, transparent, enterable, fixed in place. The cable car can be locked or unlocked. It is locked. "A cable car is docked to the platform." The description is "The cable car is large enough to comfortably fit about four passengers. The red paint coating is peeling away in large flakes and rust is corroding the body."

Understand "door" and "window" and "windows" as the cable car.

After examining the cable car when the cable car is locked:

silently try opening the cable car;

if the cable car is closed:

stop the action.

Instead of switching on the cable car:

say "The cable car doesn't have a motor of its own. [We] need to get the cableway running."

Instead of pushing or pulling the cable car:

Instead of touching the cable car:
