The bus less traveled

By Universe Contributor
June 30, 2015 12:00 AM
Buses go almost everywhere in Provo and other cities as well. I can take one bus from my apartment to BYU, the Provo Temple, my bank and my parents’ house. They are very convenient and easy to ride. There’s a website where we can look if we need help getting from one place to another (rideuta.com). UTA has efficient buses that use natural gas so they don’t harm the environment. One of the biggest draws of UTA is that it is environmentally friendly, which I think is really important for Utah. We also could take the FrontRunner, which travels from Provo to Ogden, with stops at almost every city in between.

FrontRunner line to Provo may open in December

By Jessica Henrie
February 02, 2012 12:00 AM
Liz Stevenson does not have a car and has to be creative in the ways to get around. Depending on how far she wants to go, she can walk, ride a bicycle, get a friend to drive her, or take a bus. However, with the Utah County Commission recently authorized the sale of $52 million in bonding to repay a loan to UTA, Utah County residents, like Stevenson, may be able to add “catch the train” to that list come December.
