Comic Con fans help Utah Transit Authority set another ridership record
Comic Con and its 120,000 or so science fiction and fantasy fans did it again: they helped the Utah Transit Authority set another new ridership record.
UTA reported on Wednesday that it had 567,892 boardings on TRAX and FrontRunner last week, a new all-time record, according to preliminary numbers. That's about 22 percent higher than an average summer week, according to UTA data.
