Concerns about costs

My main concern is that the $4/one round-trip ride will only cover the projected costs of maintaining the tram and will not:

a. Help pay back some of the massive overhead and overruns in the cost of building the thing.

b. Not truly cover maintenance costs, which I hate to but must assume have been vastly under-estimated just as the building costs were, and may be as high as 10x the current estimate by that comparison.

c. The cost does not have a built-in automatic increase to cover what will be guaranteed increases in maint. costs over the years, plus periodic major rebuilds or repairs that happen to other trams every 5-10 years regularly.

I wonder if it's been running all week?
