the initial service had departures once per hour. trams left munkvoll on the hour, and from st. olavs gate on the half-hour. weekend traffic was considerable, but ridership on weekdays was very limited. the management felt this was because munkvoll was not close enough to the recreational areas of bymarka, and proposed a quick expansion to ugla. at the same time, the ticket price was set high compared to the city trams, at nok 0.60 for adults. in 1924, there were 144.774 passengers.
