Yes, I think it's awesome. It's kind of exciting, really. I can't wait until they finish the Frontrunner line down to Provo. I'd like to see them build some Trax lines up to the east benches somewhere like the Cottonwood Heights/Holladay or Sandy areas.

I got to ride the Red line on the sneak peak day last week, it was cool. The stop is a 10 minute walk from my door. I got to see Antelope along the route also.

Make them put one into South Davis please... Frontrunner just doesn't do the job; the stops are in retarded, inconvenient places.

Its already been shut down twice, not sure if it will ever be built.

Is it true that they are going to start charging to park at some of the Daybreak stations?

I do not mind parking for a decent charge -anywhere- , but ... ONLY if there is a *lively* guard or Camera surveillance.

1) there is no way its guarded and 2) this is in Daybreak/S Jordan, not downtown SLC.

From what I saw from the sneak peek day, it's a bus in WVC near the mall. I guess it's called MAX because it has it's own lane so it doesn't get stopped in traffic as much? BRT= bus rapid transit.

I have enough trouble remembering the Trax routes. lol Though, I must look like I know what I'm doing because everytime I've ridden Trax, I have people come up to me & ask questions. Maybe I look 'safe'? lol On the sneak peek day, I had about 10 different groups or single people asking me questions, like I was an expert. lol I take it as a compliment, it just makes me smile since I ride Trax so rarely.
