That’s my biggest gripe, too. Not synced.
I work downtown and I used to take the Trax to SLC Central to grab the Frontrunner. The Trax schedule would get us there about five minutes before Frontrunner would arrive. So I think they TRIED to sync the schedules.

But because Trax is always running late, it would usually get to the train platform at about the same time as Frontrunner, causing us to run across the platform to reach the train while the Frontrunner workers yelled at us to hurry.

But all too often the Trax train would arrive right when the Frontrunner train would be starting to leave.

I called UTA every time this happened to complain. I think they got used to hearing from me, actually. I’d ask them that if they know Trax is just about to get there in 30 seconds, why can’t they wait? They said there was no way for them to communicate with each other.

“Well, I’m sure there IS a way for them to communicate with each other,” I would always reply. “Or if the Trax Guy won’t call Frontrunner, I’d be happy to if you’ll give me the number.”

Obviously I knew they wouldn’t do that, but I was a bit rude on the calls because of how inconvenient it was to have to wait 30 or 60 minutes for the next train after missing it by 5 seconds.
