The walk up to the funicular railway which they still call a cable car even though it isn't hanging from a cable, already involves many steps, and goes through these quasi shopping areas. The many steps would make this impossible for the frail and elderly which kind of defeats the purpose of what I will call the ropeway as they also use that term too. There is no actual convenience store, but there are a lot of vending machines, but NONE of them have a bottle bin. I usually drink a full bottle in one gulp (in addition to the two I carry) last thing before starting a hike and throw it away, not today - but that was ok because it was a short hike.
