Lacerda Elevator in Salvador (BA)

 Salvador, capital of Bahia, has an interesting geography with the well-known Cidade Alta and Cidade Baixa. This encouraged the construction of elevators and trams that transported people. For a long time, these elevators used a system of tokens that were deposited to grant access to passengers. The company responsible for transportation was Cia Linha Circular (CLC).
