  • ran vastly overbudget in a city strapped for cash -- the 2 cars should have been named Skim & Skam
  • See a video of the tram http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWDzil_08RY
  • Sue has got it rite,in spades!
  • I lived at the top on SW 10th Ave. and used the tram a lot because it's free to ride down... The Portland streetcar comes fare-less (well just about :p ) right at the bottom so its really convenient for downtown access from up on the hill. Its a 4 dollar trip back up though, so I stuck with the busses on my way home.
