I suspect evergrn meant to the very top of the Peak, not just to the Peak Galleria / Tram station. The top of the hill is actually 150m higher (552m) than what most people think of as the Peak (at 400m). There's a road up which taxis can take, and a rather nice park up there, (along with a big radio station which makes the very top of the hill inaccessible). But they'd be quite unlikely to get a fare back down - most people who do go there do so by walking, either up the road, or up the steps from the other side.

The Peak Galleria / tram station is where it is because it gets a much higher number of days per year not in the clouds than the very top does, and that's the level where all the original "Peak" residences for colonial big wigs were built.
