Portland’s aerial tram carried 125,158 people in February, nearly twice the anticipated 66,000 trips. The tram connects the Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) hospital with medical offices and clinics.
That sounds pretty good. However, only 8,184 of those people paid the $4 fare to ride the tram. The $32,736 revenue won’t go very far towards the operating costs, which are projected to be nearly $150,000 a month.
