It will then stop at the Provo Station before passing by the Provo Towne Centre mall, making a loop through the East Bay Business Park, and finally retracing its route back to the Orem Intermodal Center. It will then loop around the east side of BYU campus on North 900 East before returning to, and heading south along University Avenue. It will then connect with a stop on the southeast side of BYU campus by continuing east along University Parkway. After passing along the south side of the University Mall, it will head southeast toward Provo and the junction of University Parkway and University Avenue ( US-189). The initial route (Phase I) for the BRT line begins at the Orem Station and heads east on University Parkway ( SR-265/1300 South) to pass by the south side of the UVU campus. The Utah Valley Express (UVX) line connects the Orem Intermodal Center ( FrontRunner station) with Utah Valley University (UVU), Brigham Young University (BYU), and the Provo Intermodal Center FrontRunner station along a route of approximately 11 miles (18 km). The first MAX line (3500 South MAX) opened on July 14, 2008. MAX leaves its first stop and travels as fast as legally and safely possible to the end of the line. Īnother characteristic that distinguishes MAX from regular bus service is that it does not have a set schedule for all of its stops (although there are estimated times for arrival). The first such busways was built in West Valley City on 3500 South from 3600 West to 2700 West. The busways are more than just a bus lane, since all other traffic is prohibited from using the guideways, including other UTA buses. Whenever reasonably possible, MAX operates along dedicated busways, separated from regular traffic. MAX lines have limited stops (often at major transfer points). MAX has service improvements that differ from regular bus service, such as Transit Signal Priority (TSP), increased spacing between stops, high-frequency service, and improved stops. As of January 2023, there is one line in service in Utah County, one discontinued line in Salt Lake County, two new routes planned for Salt Lake County, and one under construction in Weber County. It is described by UTA as ' light rail on rubber tires'. MAX is a bus rapid transit (BRT) service operated by Utah Transit Authority (UTA) along the Wasatch Front in Utah, United States.
