A city tram is a public transportation vehicle that runs on tracks embedded in urban streets, offering a convenient and efficient way to move people across short to medium distances. Powered by electricity, trams help reduce traffic congestion and lower emissions compared to cars and buses. Modern trams are designed for quick boarding, frequent stops, and smooth integration with other transit systems, making them a key part of sustainable urban mobility.
This Financial Model presents a development and operations scenario of a City Tram system and is designed to support large-scale planning, capital budgeting, and long-term financial sustainability.
The model includes calculations and assumptions for the Project Development (Land Assumptions, Construction Costs, Rakes, etc), Startup Expenses, Operating Assumptions (Operating Hours, Ridership, Daily Trips), Revenue from Ticket Sales (Daily Tickets, Monthly Passes), Ancillary Revenue (Advertising, Sponsorships, Commercial Spaces Rentals), Tram Running and Station Maintenance Costs, Payroll, Operating Expenses, Fixed Assets & Depreciation, Financing through Debt & Equity and Exit Valuation assumptions (WACC and Terminal Value) in case of a potential sale of the business.
