Officials from the Utah Transit Authority and West Valley City on Thursday opened to the public an Intermodal Transit Hub at 3650 S. 2800 West that will serve as a transfer station for multiple bus routes, including the 3500 South bus rapid-transit service.
The rapid-transit service is a bus that gets traffic-signal priority and has fewer stops to transport passengers quickly. Next year, construction of a dedicated lane for rapid-transit buses along 3500 South will be completed.
The Intermodal Transit Hub also will be a connecting point for light rail that is being constructed in the area.
