My only question: Do trains have steering wheels?

Good thing the frontrunner isn't like the Salt Lake Bus overhaul. If so, it would have 1/3 less tracks but would make more trips.

Have the mass transit planners ever considered the notion that overhauling and cutting service areas is like a person having their arms and legs cut off?
Obviously the blood will circulate much faster throughout the remaining body, but what use is it if walking or using arms is desired? What we really need is a transportation system that serves the needs of everyone who pays their tax dollars for the service, not just those who live and work within the inner core.

Transit should serve the needs of everyone, including those with disabilities, amputated until the system becomes disabled itself.

Are bus drivers running the trains or are real train crews running them? Who has the contract to operate the trains? These trains run on UP tracks.

From what I read, the crews are current UTA employees that were promoted from the bus and light rail departments.
