Salt Lake City should make #publictransit fare-free

sltrib.com  I recently spent a few days in Park City. I discovered the city bus system there is free to all passengers. You can be a tourist, a student or just a local resident, and you ride the bus at no charge. Cache Valley Transit in Logan operates the same program — public transportation at no charge

If we are serious about getting people out of their cars and into public transportation, let’s make our public transportation free to ride. There are all kinds of benefits to this program: cleaner air, fewer cars on the streets and freeways and better utilization of public transportation.
