The | == Description == | ||
The unnamed skycar is an aerial tramway that connects [[Algonquin]] to [[Colony Island]] in the [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] rendition of [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]], just south of the [[Algonquin Bridge]]. The tramway falls under the management of the [[Liberty City Transport Authority]] (LTA) and is dubbed "The Pigeon", similar to the "The Fox" nickname stamped onto GTA IV's [[Bus]]es. | |||
[[Niko]] can take a ride on the trams, though the player cannot see anything or do anything. First person view can be accessed through the [[Cell Phone]], once it is upgraded and has camera capabilities. It is possible for Niko to hold onto the tram in the station, but once it takes off, he just lets go. | |||
The tram link is evidently based on the [[wp:Roosevelt Island Tramway|Roosevelt Island Tramway]] between Manhattan and Roosevelt Island in New York City. As such, the tram cars, stations, and cable pylons share a likeness with the real-life rendition. | |||
