More than 5m people caught a tram over the last year
Edinburgh Council says better than expected passenger numbers on the trams prove the line is continuing to be popular.
More than 5 million people used the service this year, according to figures revealed in an annual report.
They show the number of passengers is 12% higher than this time last year.
The busiest week so far was during the Capital's festival season when nearly 140,000 tickets were sold.
Satisfaction levels seem high too with 95% of users saying they are happy with the service.
It's all being used as evidence for extending the line to Newhaven but we're not expecting a final decision on the extension until 2017.
