Our relatives have concern about it and are discouraging it (strongly) and we really can't figure out why. Is there parking there at Draper Town Center station - is there a charge for it? Sounds like fun to ride, for sure. I guess once we are on one of the blue line trains after making the connection at Arena station, we can call and advise what time to be at the station to retrieve us in Draper, for the arrival time there should be close to what is on the printed schedule for that train. We walk fast but not sure how far back we will be on the aircraft or how far out our gate will be. 1:27pm one is probably closer to realistic timeframe for a 12:45pm landing. Yeah the Draper Town Center station is the end !įor now at least we know it'll be within a certain window of pickup time at the Draper end, depending on whether we can catch the 1:12pm train or one of the later ones.
Definitely still seeking advice or reasons NOT to ride, if any - but for $2.50 each and no hassles with renting a car and returning it, it sounds totally worth doing or at least looking into it.įlying on Southwest - looks like they use gates in Concourse B of Terminal One, so it's great to know that T1 is close to the Trax station.
AIRPORT TRAX SALT LAKE CITY HOW TO
Still digging into the website, sorting out how to get tickets/make payment and whatever else we need to know to ride. Seems like if we miss one train, there will be another behind it shortly afterward at that time of the afternoon. We will only have carryon luggage so no holdups at baggage claim. I was glad to see that there are departures scheduled so frequently, for I'm not sure how long it will take for us to disembark and make it out of the airport to the light rail station. We are scheduled to land at 12:45pm and there are departures from airport station at 1:12pm, 1:27pm, 1:42pm - switching to blue line at Arena Station - total trip time ranges from 66 minutes to 81 minutes.
AIRPORT TRAX SALT LAKE CITY UPDATE
The time expired to edit my original post and update it - but I just found a way to make the trip planner give me a route and it looks totally workable for us to ride Trax from SLC to Draper, timewise anyway. We would really appreciate any experiences you can share. We will be arriving on a Friday afternoon at 12:45pm.Ĭan anyone comment on this, both about the connection and logistics as well as a rough idea of the time it would take? I am planning to call UTA as well about the routing and where/how to transfer, but we are really interested in finding out whatever we can about riding the train before actually doing it. It looks like the closest light rail station to her location is Draper Town Center on Pioneer Rd. I tried it also breaking the trip up into two segments but no luck. I've looked at the UTA website trying to piece together a route and it looks like green line from airport to Salt Lake City central station and then blue line down to Draper, but when I use the trip planner it says no routes are available. We won't need a car once we are there so it doesn't make too much sense to rent a car just to get to her location from the airport, then turn around and return it the next day. Thinking of riding Trax from SLC airport to a station in Draper where a relative can pick us up - far easier for us to ride to her location (even with switching trains) instead of her driving up to airport.
