Public Transit Update: Boss Godfrey Takes Public Transit For One Day and Arrives At His Intended Destination One hour Late

Godfrey Mingles with the lumpencitizens, but has a bad experience

Here's the gist of the story from the most excellent Salt Lake Tribune blog, "Out of Context: The Tribune's political writers' blog":

"Who knew that going green would take sooooo long?"

But after sitting for 75 minutes on FrontRunner, waiting 10 minutes for a Sandy TRAX train and then discovering that he would have to march more than a mile to Liberty Park from the 1300 South stop because (contrary to what he was told) there was no eastbound bus, he was a bit agitated.
Godfrey reached the forum -- albeit an hour late.
"We have to have a transit system that works," he vented to the architect crowd.

Godfrey didn't properly study the UTA schedule, and thus arrived an hour late to the meeting. We seriously hope he hadn't been scheduled as a keynote speaker.

If he hadn't been such a half-assed planner as per usual, he'd have perhaps studied the UTA schedule more carefully. From today's article:

The mayor could have stayed on TRAX until 2100 South, where he could have hopped onboard a bus that wrapped around Liberty Park on 900 South.

Also, we're not the ones who will suggest that Godfrey is a complete dumbass, although we will suggest that he should have spent a little more time studying the UTA schedule.

We'll just say that we're sorry to hear that Boss Godfrey had a "bad experience with public transit."

It would have been nicer, we think, if the UTA people had scheduled limousine service for the little fellow when he departed FrontRunner.
