Ridership on public transportation increased significantly during the first two weeks of Free Fare February.
Free Fare February is a government initiative allowing people to use Utah Transit Authority buses and trains for free.
Average UTA travel on weekdays is up 20%, weekday bus travel has increased by 22%, and Frontrunner travel has increased 33% on weekdays — and a whopping 163% on Saturdays.
Free Fare February will continue through the end of this month.
