UTA Trax SLC International Airport

Literally one of the best features of this airport — TRAX. Take advantage! For $ 2.50 one way, the train will take you to various points in the city downtown and beyond. I’ve used the train a few times now and it’s a safe alternative especially for inclement weather. Clean, accessible, easy to navigate and purchase tickets. Can’t go wrong, just plan ahead.

This is a really convenient way to get from the Airport to the city quickly and cheaply! It is right at the end of the airport and you are able to buy your tickets and get on right there, and be into the city within 20 minutes. So nice!
However… there were some serious issues getting the tickets. There are just machines, and about 5 people in front of me were unable to get their cards to work. and it held up the line like crazy. There were a wide variety of people having serious issues paying, and it was just not efficient. I have never seen a metro or bus ticket system struggle so much. But besides that sometimes being a problem, it was overall really nice and easy.
I think a trip to the city was $ 2.50… can’t beat that!

I love riding from the airport into the city on this train !!! Thank goodness, we have the ability to just putter around town on the train for $ 6.50 a day.
When I first moved to Salt Lake ten + years ago I had to take a $ 25 taxi ride into the Avenues, not including tip. No fun ! So, being able to just walk to the end of the terminal and hop aboard is fantastic. TRAX is so fantastic, that we here in your sister city of Mesa had to copy it and now we have our own version running along Main Street. Good ideas are worth copying !

I was quite impressed to find such easy public transportation to/​from the airport and the downtown area. Purchasing tickets from the kiosks was quite easy and the electronic signs were accurate in predicting when the next tram was arriving. The tram was pretty clean too.

Awful service and rude operators. This service has put me behind schedule several times before and made me late for my plane. The last straw was not waiting just 10 seconds to allow me to board, but they instead pulled away. Sorry, you don’t have my vote four your excellence award! Boo!!!

$ 2.50 from the airport to Provo! Easier and obviously cheaper than driving or getting a ride. A train takes you from the airport to downtown where you transfer trains, then the front runner takes you down as far south as Provo. Students ride for free!

The service to and from the airport wins for affordability and proximity to the already convenient SLC airport. One train every 15 minutes is also pretty darn good. The Trax system itself does a fair job of making the city accessible (the downtown mostly) for visitors, but is really more useful for locals trying to avoid airport parking fees. If you’re coming to the city for anything outside of a downtown hotel or convention center, really consider renting a car so you can explore Park City or the local mountains.
The quality and layout of the Trax trains, however are the worst I’ve seen. No, they’re not aged like in other systems, but the seats are horribly and irrationally placed with little to no room for knees, never mind luggage. There are no upper racks to store bags either. And if you are traveling alone and want a forward facing window seat you have to sit in a 4-​group facing cluster.
In summary: convenient and functional, but lacking.

At the southern end of the airport terminal. Everything’s clearly marked out, with the ticket machines, time-​tables, etc. all obvious. Nothing to complain about at all!

Great way to save money and keep the ecosystem running well. Blue skies clean water and a safe place to live, work, play and enjoy a fruitful life. Trax the way to go.

How wonderful is this!!!
The Trax system in SLC is the ONLY way to get from the airport to the downtown area. Well, not technically, but it is the best way. For only $ 2.50, you get to view some of the best sightseeing there is in SLC. The ride from the airport was a quick 20 minute ride to the hotel area and was easy to maneuver.
I do question this honor system they have as you pay for your ticket to get on through an automated system, but no one requests your ticket at all. Is this enforced at all? Bonus, there is an area in the downtown area that is free on and off, and is a bit quicker than walking around the town area.

I have made the run to the airport twice now. Once on a business trip and once with family and lots of bags. Both times it was well worth it! Saved on Taxi and shuttle fare and got there just as fast and even faster. Highly recommended as a mode of transport to and from the airport.

What a deal just $ 2.50 to ride into downtown salt lake city. After picking up your bags look overhead for signs directing to the train. Only downside the station is outside and its chilly in the winter

great

I am totally hyping the SLC light rail… now that it extends out to the airport it is even more perfect for family visits. The trip from downtown to the airport is a quick 20 minutes, costs a couple of bucks and drops you off right outside terminal 1.
Love, LOve, LOve it… now I cant wait for Cowtown to catch up!
