Due to maintenance on the funicular, the Braunwaldbahn in Glarus, #Switzerland is currently operating a funicular-replacement helicopter.

Normal tickets (3.60 CHF with halbtax) can be used, and the 3min helicopter ride runs every day between 07:30 and 17:00.
Might have gone and tried it if they didn't explicitly said "don't if you don't actually need it". Wouldn't be nice to "abuse" it. They also have limited capacity, and priority to those who need it.
Braunwald has basically no road connection (there's some narrow winding road, which I'm surprised doesn't have problems with jams caused by inability to pass), which makes this sounds slightly less weird.
I'm amused by the implication that the same helicopter will be used to bring mail up and down.
