The Sugarhouse Streetcar will offer more frequent service, most ski bus service will end and weekend buses to Lagoon begin — all part of changes that begin Sunday, one of three times a year that the Utah Transit Authority tweaks its bus and train schedules.
Details about all changes are available online at www.rideuta.com.
The Sugarhouse Streetcar, or S-Line, will begin to offer service every 15 minutes, instead of the current 20 minutes.
Most ski bus service either will end, or already has. An exception is one morning and one evening bus on Route 953 to Snowbird and Alta, mostly for canyon employees.
Sunday service also begins to Lagoon on bus Route 470 (an Ogden-Salt Lake City line), and Saturday service to the park begins on Route 667 (between Farmington Station and Lagoon).
Minor schedule adjustments to improve reliability are occurring on several Salt Lake County bus lines, including Routes 3 (3rd Avenue), 21 (2100 South), 45 (4500 South), 217 (Redwood Road), and 248 (4800 West).
The new Utah Valley Express bus rapid transit system in Provo and Orem will also have minor schedule adjustment to improve reliability.
Several Davis and Weber county buses will also have minor adjustments or route changes including Routes 470 (Ogden to Salt Lake City), 603 (Weber State University), 626 (West Roy), 627 (WSU Davis), 628 (Midtown Trolley), 630 (Brigham City to Ogden), 640 (Layton Hills Mall to WSU) and 645 (Monroe Boulevard).
UTA is taking public comment now on changes proposed for August, including increasing frequency or adding service on numerous bus routes in Salt Lake City thanks to extra funding the city is providing. More information is available online at www.rideutah.com.
