The Arch tram, along with the St. Louis Downtown Airport, the Riverboats, and Arch garage are entities that we operate. It's not transit as we know it, but has a lot of common components...ticket collection, vehicle operation and maintenance, real estate, etc. Daron,

Does metro still run the tram? Why? This isn't transportation in the sense most of us associate with the organization. I always assumed somebody like westinghouse or otis ran the tram. Does Metro get to keep some of the profits?
