"Light rail is a hit. The ridership numbers prove that.In fact, mass transit ridership combined for the Utah Transit Authority hasn't been as high for the Salt Lake area since the 1940s, a time of light rail's first incarnation in Utah. Today's version of light rail, TRAX, has played a major factor in boosting UTA's overall numbers."
