More empty buses.

I have an idea; UTA could compete with Greyhound and offer Bus Service to St. George; as well as the Cities between Salt Lake and St. George; either that or Amtrak could offer non-stop Service to St. George, Utah.

Have you ridden the express buses lately? They are packed full, with people standing in the aisle.

I second that, all the buses seem to be full. I've been riding for three years and I estimate that I see 50% more people on the buses now than a year ago. There is also no where to park at the AF or Lehi park-and-rides if you get there late. We could use another route or two.

Express buses are much better and cheaper than UTA trains. We should be focusing on better express buses and new Express bus technologies, not antique traains. Type -- automated bus testing -- into Google to see what we should be planning for.
FrontRunner has knocked out some of UTA's most cost effective and pollution effective buses and claimed the riders for the less flexible train. UTA shows that ridership as though it is new rideraship....typical, habitual UTA deceit and propaganda.

I failed to finish my thread of thought...
UTA gets communities to pony up money for effective buses, especially express buses (like Lucy persuading Linus to go ahead and try again to kick the football she is holding), then rips the effective busses out in preferrence to unneeded trains that cost in the hundreds of billions and take longer and actually are less efficient.
Why are they less efficient?
Because the buses to connect neighborhoods to train stations will be discontinued, leaving virtually no bus service. This has happened to us here in Sandy and Draper. We have 90% less bus service than before TRAX.
