Read our Thoughts on BRT in Utah

As you may have heard, UTA recently opened a new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line in Ogden: The OGX.

UTRU to a trip to ride the OGX, and we provide our first-hand thoughts and feelings about the route and give our opinions on what it will take to ensure that the OGX is a success.

But what about UTA's shuddered BRT line: MAX, which connected Magna with TRAX? Can this route be saved? 

Well, UTRU thinks so, but it would require a rethink of the route.
