The altitude difference between the first and last stations is 274 meters. Carmelit cars have a slanted design, with steps within each car and on the station platform. Since the gradient varies along the route, the floor of each car is never quite level, and slopes slightly "uphill" or "downhill" depending on the location.
However, since Istanbul also has a newer and bigger (though separate) subway system, the Carmelit is the smallest subway system in the world.
