And not nearly as crowded either, I was going in and out of downtown on a weekend and there was plenty of seating each time. Ticket machines at every station that take credit cards no matter how far out and helpful staff / conductors with pleasant attitudes. Downtown "free fare zone" where you can enter and exit with no ticket is very small, but it does save you a kinda long walk in the cold going between the Intermodal station (Greyhound / Amtrak / Frontrunner) and the courthouse / library area of downtown.

The walk from the train to the station was long especially for those who have difficulty walking. There wasn't a cart to pick people up but one to pick up luggage. There seems to be a lack of concern from the conductor on the train who was ready to get going. Our attendant was very helpful with my husband who got very sick on the train. Personally, train travel might not be good for older folks like us. Perhaps those who travel a lot might have a better idea how to navigate railing.

Due this sensitive situation the bus driver involved police and emergency. Police advised me to be accompany to the emergency room for make sure if everything ok. And I was taken to the emergency room to check my head injury and did CT head scan. Now, I am facing a lot of emergency billing from emergency ambulance and hospital that I had due this incident. UTA claim department informed me that in their general case any kind of injury they will going to cover only 3 thousand. It is insane , because emergency and ambulance did not cost this amount. Total now amount to pay is close to 6 thousand total. And I am mad that this kind of corporate business not willing to cover total bill of people's injury that was cased by their employee bad training. I just want to be aware if you riding in UTA ride bus or any transportation due any injury by their employee case they are not going to be cover your expense, and you will be responsible for paying bill yourself. As a low income, I am straggle to pay this enormous bills. Just be aware better to avid riding on UTA transportation because it is not safe and you are responsible for your health. Bus driver in UTAH did not train well, and always harsh stop and any stations, driver do not wait when after you enter seat, they immediately drive after you hop on on a bus. As, a low income employee I am not able to afford have a car. That is why I use only transit UTA when going to buy food. My general transportation except UTA ride, is my bike.

But the buses and trains are all really clean and don't stink (I'm looking at you LA) and the staff have all been very friendly. I had one of the UTA on demand driver actually help me set up the app. They have their own police and they were all over the trains hopping the cars. So far other than the wait they all are very good at being on time. They have consistently been on time. The staff also (and yea that their jobs I get it but still) very ADA friendly. They have a service to pick up and drop off handicap. They drivers have been very nice and helpful when I've seen them interact with handicap people. Definitely a worthwhile option over Uber and Lyft.

I love mass transit! I was happy to hear years ago when they announced the city was going to put…read moreTrax lines in. No worrying about parking your car. This location is fairly close to one of our major hospitals in town, but is still a bit of a walk to get to it. I don't see using Trax if you have some kind of medical condition that stops you from walking over to the hospital. To bad it doesn't drop you off or pick you up right at the hospital entrance. Side note: When I was in Washington D.C. (Crystal City) the hotel I was staying at had a train line that stopped right at the hotel. It was nice to just hop on the train right from my hotel. UTA has added a few other offshoot lines from the major one that runs North and South, parallel to State Street. Let's be honest...we live in the West, and when this city was planned out, they didn't plan ahead for over crowding, and businesses and housing to be so spread apart. If you travel to a city where mass transit works, you will find most of what you need in walking distance from the station, even housing. This is NOT the case here. In fact most "stations" are out of the way. You either have to drive to, or ride the bus, to actually catch the Trax, which kinda defeats the purpose of mass transit. Let's say if you ride the Trax downtown, you are able to walk around without a car, if you don't mind walking large block sizes. Think of the strip in Vegas. You look out onto the strip, and you see a casino you want to go to, because of an optical illusion, you head out because it's just right there, and you tell yourself... just a few more steps. The reality is the casino you want to go to is really blocks, and blocks, and blocks if not miles further than your eye told you it would be. That's what the distance from the Trax line is to the establishment you intend to go to here. In order for Trax to really service the valley they will need to put more lines in, to access places that people frequent, and build closer to the Trax lines. Trains are on the small size, and are weirdly designed. A lot of wasted space in the train cars. Trains run smooth, and run on time, unless there is a problem. like someone thinking they can beat the train, and they collide. Trains are pretty much empty except during rush hour, and you are going to/from downtown, or for events that are downtown. They keep raising prices which is a deterrent for some people that would ride the Trax, but opt not to, because it's cheaper to drive your car. I wish our county, and specifically our city, was walking friendly, but it just isn't. It's to far to actually walk from Trax to most businesses. They do have Car Parks to leave your car while you ride the Trax, which helps keep cars off the roads. I have noticed that more, and more apartment buildings are being built within walking distance to each Trax station, this helps, but this isn't going to help getting to your final destination unless it is a conceivable walking distance especially during our winters here.

UTA is apparently not smart enough to realize that calling a station "North Temple" and then…read morecalling another station 4 stops away "North Temple Bridge" causes needless confusion, wrong exits, and missed transfers. Seriously, no one thought that maybe it would be smart to only have one stop called North Temple? What kind of incompetent fools planned this piece of crap? Also, it should be obvious (although I'm sure it's not to the bureaucrats at UTA), but the terminals for buying tickets are clunky, dysfunctional, and extremely unintuitive. The touchscreen is apparently from 1990 with a sweet 4-second lag time. Want your terminals to be damaged from people punching them in frustration? Then you're in the right place. Say you want to catch the Frontrunner from the airport down to Utah county... Good luck magically knowing that you need a Frontrunner ticket starting at the North Temple station (oh, and that's the North Temple *Bridge* station of course, not the 1940 North Temple station). I still have no clue if I'm also supposed to pay for a Trax ticket from the airport to North Temple (again, obviously not the non-bridge North Temple, as that wouldn't transfer you anywhere). The Trax train very conveniently doesn't say 704 anywhere on it, just "GRN" (which obviously means green?) despite Google and the UTA trip planner giving the number 704. But rest assured, that number is just there to help confuse you, since you wont be able to find it anywhere. I've travelled around the world and the UTA transportation here wins for the most retarded piece of crap I've ever seen. Don't waste your time. It's not worth the hassle of trying to figure out UTA's nonsense, as the concept of usability in a mass transit system never crossed their mind.

I was impressed that on the way to the airport they announced that the free portion was over. What that told me was that you can travel locally at no cost.

How good is that? The cars are clean, the ride is smooth and the view out the window was fantastic, especially for a person from Long Island. We were in Salt Lake City for five days and I am glad that I did not have to rent a car. I suggest that if you're coming to visit you make your plans in advance and you will only need major transportation to sight-see out of the city.
