In order to get back to the mainland, as Resort World is an island, we decided to take the cable car back. There was a bus that takes you from the aquarium to the building that houses one of the cable car stops. The ticket booth is inside of a gift shop, and if someone didn't tell us about it, we would never have known.
The terminal for the cars is on the 15th floor, and you get out and it's an open area. As the cars are in the terminal, they go slowly, so you can get in/get out. There is a warning sign that tells you what not to do in the car, things like eating and drinking, smoking, throwing children out, etc. Once the car leaves the terminal, it speeds up quite a bit and off you go, looking down on the harbor and the outskirts of Singapore. I didn't get any pictures except of the warning sign because my phone battery died in three hours while on internet mode, and the camera decides not to work with low battery.
I have to say that it was pretty breathtaking. Looking down on the city from a dozen stories up is pretty neat. There are giant concrete poles extending hundreds of feet in the air that the cable car wire connects to so you can go from Resort World to the next building that lets you get on the island, and then to a fancy hotel or restaurant or bar, I couldn't tell which, and it loops around. We went from Resort World to the fancy place and got off on the middle building on the way back to prolong our stay on the car.
