On Tuesday, Governor Spencer Cox, a number of city mayors and state lawmakers gathered at the Utah State Capitol to announce the plan. It would allow Frontrunner, Trax and all buses to not charge a fare.
"Transit that is fast, frequent and free was the first motivation to increase ridership in Provo," said Mayor Michelle Kaufusi, who said they saw a three-fold increase when the UTX bus was made free."That’s absolutely something I'm interested in for Salt Lake City, for our air quality’s sake, but really for our livability.
The late Sam Taylor must be singing in his grave. He fought for decades to get free fare mass transit.
I still have to drive, bus, Trax, frontrunner no where near my house or work. If I did take it I'd be walking, in the freezing cold least 2 miles one way, still drive to the start of route 5 miles one way, and add 3 hours to my 10 our work day. Plus not 'free' I pay taxes
