From Deseret News archives:
Few problems noted over new UTA bus routes
The redesign went into effect Sunday after months of public outcry and debate.
Chad Saley, UTA spokesman, said a few people went to the wrong bus stop Monday and were shuttled by a van to the correct location. Most people just wanted a new route schedule map from the 100 or more UTA employees scattered throughout Salt Lake County to answer questions.
"A lot of people were very up on it," Saley said about the redesign. "We did have some people that had no idea that the buses were changing. This was the first they had ever heard about it."
The redesign was first made public in February and is described as a complete overhaul of UTA's bus system in Salt Lake County. Buses have been moved out of neighborhoods and onto busier streets, and more frequent service added. Weeks of public hearings were held regarding the changes.
Barbara Toomer of the Disabled Rights Action Committee said her group received one call from someone wondering when a certain bus would come. Nikki Christensen, a University of Utah student and one-time opponent of the redesign, said she had heard no complaints from fellow bus riders.
