UTA just announced they’re starting a quarterly “Rider’s digest” pamphlet that can be picked up from any bus or train or downloaded online. This will include an overview of the past quarter, plans for the next, and a statement from the CEO. So basically, what they share on twitter and their blog.

This is what I think UTA should do:
1) Monthly pass for $30, (partnering businesses, and schools could cover cost)
2) day-pass for $2, $5 incl. FR
3) Group pass for $5, $8 incl. FR.
4) Free pass for Seniors and disabled ($20 one-time fee, require a doctors note, AND have an address)
5) Free on orange and red-burn days.
All of these could be purchased from any TRAX or FrontRunner ticket machine or online, with apple pay, etc. Monthly passes can be filled up online like farepay.
It would also be cool to get perks for miles travelled.
I feel like this plan would be good for increasing ridership and addressing Hatman’s concerns.
I couldn't stop watching that video. I have to admit I found it more entertaining than I probably should have...
apparently, it was viral for a little bit. Oh, what a world we've come to be!
I wish our state would just allow tesla to sell cars! Shouldn't the buyer be able to choose? Tesla's are still expensive, I don't think it would affect the other car makers that badly.
I'm also tired of seeing ads about cars, shouldn't google know I read about trains and busses all day?
