Mountain transport fitted with television? (5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cable car

'mountain transport' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fitted with television?' is the wordplay.
'fitted' becomes 'car' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'television?' becomes 'cable' (cable is a kind of television).
'car' after 'cable' is 'CABLE-CAR'.

(Other definitions for cable car that I've seen before include "Transport used to go up mountain" , "An easy way to 6?" , "Means of mountain transport" , "Conveyance for passengers to mountain top" , "Skier's transport" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
