Almost all UTA bus, train schedules change on Sunday — driven by new safety system

The Utah Transit Authority is changing the schedule for nearly all of its bus and train routes beginning Sunday, caused by implementation of a new safety system on the FrontRunner commuter rail system.

It integrates computer, satellite and radio technology to automatically slow trains moving too fast, to help them avoid collisions with other trains or to stop them from entering work zones or passing switches left in the wrong position.

With that system, FrontRunner will take slightly more time to travel between Provo and Ogden. So schedules for most bus routes and all TRAX lines will change to coordinate with FrontRunner schedules.
