The Utah Transit Authority will not charge fares systemwide from Friday through Sunday, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. [1]
The pause comes as UTA completes upgrades meant to create a "faster, more convenient and flexible" payment experience and to lay the foundation for enhancements to its Farepay system. After the work is finished, UTA says Farepay users should update their account passwords and log in to the upgraded system at farepay.rideuta.com. [1]
The Tribune listed weekend events reachable by transit, including a fall market at Copperview Recreation Center in Midvale via route F525, a book festival at the Salt Lake City Library main branch on Friday and at The Gateway on Saturday, and a pumpkin patch in West Valley City reachable by TRAX Green Line and bus route 240. Free entry to the pumpkin patch is offered, while rides, playland and maze access cost $12 per ticket. [1]
