Portland Aerial Tram
The Portland Aerial Tram is a cable car system in Portland, Oregon, that transports people between downtown Portland and the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) on Marquam Hill. It consists of two parallel cabins connected by cables, which glide smoothly along towers and guides. The tram offers a quick, scenic connection with stunning views of the city and surrounding areas. It primarily serves commuters, hospital staff, and visitors, improving transportation efficiency and reducing travel time between key locations. Opened in 2006, it is both a practical transit solution and a recognizable architectural landmark.
