UTA is one of the worst run mass transit systems in America. Change my mind.

Oh and the University of Utah is incapable of handling a sold out crowd. Funneling 50,000 people through one gate!

I literally just barely got home from the concert. It was brutal.

I think that place was more than sold out

I remember Provo in the early 80s before UTA came to Utah County. There was a

You're absolutely right. Utah is difficult for public transit but UTA is inept

You don't like us? Go to the competition.

That’s my biggest gripe, too. Not synced.

When someone's sweat dripped on me I was ready to pay the $50 Uber

You’re sure it was sweat?

The problem is I can't think of a well run transit system in the US.

Yep. Europe much better

Metro north...

Chicago is pretty good. CTA + Metra

Western Europe, East Asia, and NYC. That's the list

NYC has a big transit system but its terribly run. Look at the cost to build the 2nd ave subway vs what it costs per

Nuclear Buses - I like it!

The bus lanes in Provo and Orem are one of the dumbest

I’m certain they they’re placeholders for eventual light rail, but I agree.

I could be wrong but I thought I remembered reading this was permanent and in

Can someone legitimately explain the obsession for light rail?

Are you kidding? Uvx is amazing

Yiowa

... Said no one ever.

byuluvr

I don't know anyone who actually dislikes it.

Yiowa

7/18/21 1:31pm

It costs riders nothing. of course it's being used. Wait until people have to pay.

byuluvr

7/18/21 2:11pm

Uvx services 60%+ students who aren't paying anyways.

Yiowa

7/18/21 2:24pm

I live right by the UVX line. I see it every day. Aside from students and football games it is seldom used.

byuluvr

7/18/21 2:37pm

I'll agree that it isn't used as much as it could be.

Yiowa

7/18/21 2:52pm

That is a direct result of the pandemic

Where should I start?

DrYfire

I'll agree they could use smaller buses.

Where exactly does UTA not currently cover?

Yiowa

7/18/21 6:52pm

If you like it that much, you should pay what it actually costs.

DrYfire

7/18/21 8:58pm

I'm assuming your opinion is the same when it comes to roads as well

eskyjazz

actually, yes

Give me a subway or give me death.

I know you are joking. . . but with the introduction of boring tunnels

I'm actually not joking. It'd be perfect in SLC, except the cost
