Salt Lake City by Transit: Transit, Ski Culture & Local Food 

Share on

Explore Salt Lake City, Utah through its people, places, and one of the most impressive public transportation systems in the United States. 

From the Utah State Capitol and Temple Square to historic Ogden, world‑class ski resorts, and iconic local restaurants, this journey with host Paul Comfort shows how transit connects culture, history, and everyday life across Northern Utah. 

Ride UTA’s FrontRunner commuter rail, experience all‑electric Bus Rapid Transit in Ogden, hop a free downtown trolley, and take the Ski Bus straight into the mountains to Alta and Snowbasin—no car required. Along the way, we explore downtown Salt Lake City, NHL hockey, classic neighborhood institutions, and the stunning (and fragile) Great Salt Lake. 

We also go behind the scenes with Utah Transit Authority leadership and workforce to see how rail, BRT, microtransit, and zero‑emission buses are preparing the region for rapid growth and the 2034 Winter Olympics.
