Somethun To Consider

For my first "official" post on the 453 I figure it can't hurt to throw out some quick and interesting info. Does anyone know without looking up when UTA was established? Anyone? Back in 1970 is when it all began. UTA now has more than 600 buses that average over 58,300 passengers daily. That's alot of oil changes and tire rotations. If there was no public transit delays would increase by 27 percent. You are also 25 times less likely to die in a traffic accident when you ride public transit versus a personal vehicle. Americans lose $63 billion per year in productivity sitting in traffic. Consider this by riding UTA that it allows someone else to do the driving stress free (esp those white knuckle winter traffic mornings) for shopping, appointments, work commuting etc. By riding public transit also helps reduce traffic congestion and assists in overall better environmental quality.
