The | The Skycar is an aerial tramway that connects [[Lancet]], [[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|buses]]. | ||
[[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.

First person view can be accessed through the [[Cell Phone]], once it is upgraded and has camera capabilities. Apparntly no pedestrians are programed to use the skycar. It is possible for Niko to hold onto the tram in the station, but once it takes off, he just lets go, making it literally impossible to vehicle surf on it (much like all other vehicles in the game). | ||
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. | The tram link is evidently based on the [[wp:Roosevelt Island Tramway|Roosevelt Island Tramway]] between Manhattan and Roosevelt Island in New York City.
