Letter: Small business pays more for the same service when it comes to Frontrunner
A FrontRunner train arrives in Salt Lake City from Provo, Monday, Dec. 10, 2012.
Ravell Call, Deseret News
My father owned his own business, and now my husband works for a small engineering firm. I know I should be used to the way small business is treated, but it still bothers me. My husband works in Murray and we live in Centerville. With the new train schedule he wanted to start riding Frontrunner, but it is rather expensive. My father-in-law takes the train and is able to get a deep discount through his work. My husband looked into it and was told there is no discount for small businesses.
Once again small business pays more for the same service. UTA is political subdivision of the state. It seems to be how things work these days. If you work for the government (or a company using government subsidies) you get a free pass, if you are big business you get a discount, if you are a small business you pay full price.

One price for all! How tough can that be?
How about we have equal justice for all.
Stop giving phony, unfair, unneeded and dishonest subsidies and free rides to business, religion, charities, farmers, and people in uniform. The way I hear it, nothing is free. That is unless you More..
Sounds like market forces to me. Buy in bulk, get a discount. Same thing with buying private health insurance. Large companies with a large workforce are able to negotiate better deals on premiums. A small business? Well, those private insurance More..
