Down Town Salt Lake City has “FREE FARE”, Ridership is Real Good because of FREE FARE. UTA Destroyed the Bus System in the rest of Salt Lake County. So UTA could Build a Empire of Trax Line & FrontRunner, so UTA Executives could Earn Excessive Salaries & Bonuses at Taxpayer Expense. I will be Voting No in November Election on the Sale Tax Increase, it will toward better Bus Service for Down Town Salt Lake & UTA Salaries & Bonuses.

Taxpayers are Paying for 75% of the Fares for Paratransit, because it Costs $4:00 each way.
