Frontrunner

 It is ridiculous that the frontrunner only runs on the hour. Today my sister-in-law came to Salt Lake City to surprise her sister. I decided to go to Salt Lake City as well to visit with my newborn niece. I took the bus to the Provo Station and as I got off the bus, I watched the train pull out of the station. I had to wait another hour before the next train left. If I had a car, I could have driven to Salt Lake faster than it took to wait for the train and then ride to the city. 

This is the whole problem with public transportation in Utah, specifically Provo. Unless you plan your trip around the bus and train schedule, it is always faster to drive. If there were a train every 20 minutes, it would be a viable alternative to driving to Salt Lake. If there were a bus every 10 minutes, nobody would need to drive because the bus is just right there. I want to be able to decide on a whim to visit my friend across town, and have a bus appear at the station within 10 minutes.
