It serves the purpose.
Service at the ticket office could be better but the price is ok at R75 or c £5 return. It runs c every 5 minutes and does save you a sharp uphill walk - simple as that.

The views at the top do give you a different and probably better perspective of some of the truly spectacular views than the ones you get at 'base camp' - the car park and shops. In particular you get wonderful views of the absolutely mesmerising Dias beach and over to Cape of Good Hope. It can be very windy up here.

In summary it is well worth doing simply to get the views at the top. As an attraction in itself it is not surprisingly functional but it does the job.

Does the job and gets you there no sweat
Still quite a few steps to climb to get to the lighthouse so why not take the funicular. Return ticket only marginally more than single. Shame the mist rolled in when we got there but difficult to plan for when taking a day trip from cape town

Quick ride up
Funicular was quick ride to the top versus walking up, queues were also quick, sanitized for Ned group max 10. Lovely experience likely to do it again

Very cheap.
Pensioners get discount, frequent, quick and comfortable. Still a lot of steps and walking if you want to go to the end of the road so it is a good idea to use the funicular for this very steep section.
