The Utah Transit Authority on Monday unveiled the first of four new trolley-type buses, costing $530,000 each, that will operate in Davis and Weber counties.
Two of the buses will serve on the free Midtown Trolley, Route 628. The free route — sponsored by local businesses and using tax increase money from the 2015 Proposition 1 — runs between the Layton and Clearfield FrontRunner stations and serves restaurants, shopping, hotels and medical centers. Another trolley bus will operate on Route 628 serving Lagoon. A fourth bus will eventually serve a yet-to-be determined route in downtown Ogden.
