So You Wanna Tram Like Gatsby (Without the Reckless Spending, Hopefully)
Ever dreamt of soaring above the city like a majestic eagle (or a slightly less majestic pigeon)? Well, fret no more, tram-tastic traveller! The Portland Aerial Tram is here to whisk you away on a scenic journey, all for a price that won't leave you feeling like you just bought a one-way ticket to Neptune.
But before you start practicing your best tram conductor impression (think less "all aboard" and more "hey there, tram fam"), let's get down to the nitty-gritty: the cost of this delightful vertical adventure.

Buckle Up, Buttercup: Here's the Fare Deal
A single round-trip ticket will set you back a cool $8.50. Not bad, considering the breathtaking views and the undeniable bragging rights you'll score with your friends back home (just be sure to capture those envy-inducing tram selfies!).
Need a tram fix more often? Consider a monthly pass for $40, perfect for the regular tram enthusiast (or maybe you just live life a little more vertically challenged than most).
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.
Feeling truly committed to the tram life? There's even an annual pass for $440. That's a lot of trams, my friend. A lot of trams.
Important side note: If you happen to be an OHSU employee, student, patient, or visitor, you get to ride the tram for free! Now that's what we call a sweet tram deal.
Fear Not, Frugal Friend: Free Tram Fun!
While us mere mortals have to cough up a few bucks, there are ways to experience the tram's magic for free (almost). Here's the scoop:
Tip: Reflect on what you just read.
- Befriend an OHSU employee (flattery and baked goods are good options).
- Become a patient (though we sincerely hope you don't have to resort to this!).
- Time your visit for a special event. The tram occasionally offers free rides during events, so keep an eye out!
Bonus tip: Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the stunning views from the tram stop at the top. Just don't litter, or you'll be singing the tram blues instead of enjoying the views.
