“The Utah Transit Authority discovered some interesting facts about who rides its system — and who pays more — during the first six months of a scheduled two-year study on how to rework its fares.

It presented some findings at a board committee meeting Wednesday, including:

• About one of every three bus and train passengers — 31 percent, to be exact — are university students who are given passes or buy them at a discount from their schools. But they provide only 16 percent of all UTA fare revenue.

 • Workers who buy or are given passes from their employers provide 19 percent of all UTA fare revenue — but account for only 7 percent of its ridership.”
