  For those further out in Kelburn, you can take a bus to get closer to the museum. Look for bus stops along the main Kelburn road (e.g., Glenmore Street). Take the bus number 1 or 2 towards the city. Get off at the 'Upland Road' stop. From there, walk approximately 5 minutes downhill along Upland Road, and you will reach the Cable Car Museum at 1A Upland Road. Bus fares vary, but expect to pay around NZD 2.50 to NZD 4.50 depending on your starting point.
