Eight reasons the Utah Transit Authority should be able eliminate the free-fare zone in downtown SLC:
8. Their secret new RoboCop police force isn’t going to be cheap.
7. It’ll keep crazy hobos off the trains and where they belong: camped out in front of City Weekly.
6. The term “premium pay zone” sounds so much more upscale and cosmopolitan.
5. Ever consider walking a little further, tubby?
4. There’s no such thing as a free ride—unless you’re a UTA board member traveling abroad, or retired CEO.
3. If you think service can’t be made, uh, get worse, think again.
2. The bus in Speed was in a free fare zone, and look what happened there.
1. What part of “Authority” don’t you understand?
Another slap in the face by the UTA we should call it the greed zone or the poor management zone or the I don't want to keep the committment we made with the people zone! It makes as much sense as closing the frontrunner on Sunday what a joke they are!!
Your article states in mokery but there are valid reasons for eliminating free fare zone.
I ride the bus/trains. . example a homeless lady rode the bus she had a cart full of trash surrounded with horse flies!
