The new tram service in Scotland's capital has carried 1.5 million passengers in its first 100 days.
Edinburgh Trams said the passenger numbers and revenue levels were in line with predictions.
It said that major events such as the Edinburgh Festival season and a One Direction concert and Champions League games at Murrayfield helped to boost numbers using the trams over the first few months of the service.
About 130,000 stepped on board during the first week of operations and since then more than 90,000 passengers on average have used the service each week.
Ian Craig, chief executive of Transport for Edinburgh, said: "I'm very pleased with progress so far and with 100 days of the tram service under our belts, coupled with record-breaking patronage on Lothian Buses, we're well-placed to thrive as a modern integrated transport operator.
"What we're seeing suggests a genuine increase in use of public transport across the piece, which is a priority for us but also a shared aspiration for many in the city."
The trams began operating on May 31 and the 100 days covered the period up to September 7.
Lesley Hinds, transport convener and chair of transport for Edinburgh, said: "We can count these 100 days as a very encouraging start and the fact that we've carried 1.5 million passengers speaks volumes about how quickly people in the city have embraced their new tram service.
"These are still the early days of a new operation and there's always going to be scope to refine things to make sure passengers get the best possible service.
"We've got a great team in place to hone and develop the tram operation and to ensure that we deliver a fully integrated public transport system for the capital."
The tram network opened to the public in May after six years of building work and problems including a long-running dispute between the council and its contractor.
The project has seen the construction of a line from Edinburgh Airport to York Place, costing about £776 million.
