Capri Funicular (Mountain Station - Piazzetta) — Attraction in Capri

INSANELY FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE - DO NOT VISIT DURING PEAK HOURS

Imagine a beautiful hot day and a queue that stretches all the way back with minimal signage of where to go to buy tickets.

In the end I was directing herds of confused people to get tickets. The only attendant dealing with herds of people was quite nice, but clearly overwhelmed. An automated system (contactless) would drastically improve the experience both for the attendants and the...
