How Do I Get Around Sugar House Without a Car?
2026-11-09 · Delia Bayna, REALTOR® · eXp Realty, LLC | Luxury · 3 min read
The S-Line streetcar
The S-Line is a two-mile streetcar line with seven stops, from Sugar House to Central Pointe, where you can switch to TRAX. Your fare is good for two hours, and that includes a free transfer to a bus or TRAX. So you can get from Sugar House to downtown, the airport or a ballgame on one fare.
The line is being extended toward Highland Drive. It keeps running during the work.
The buses
Route 9 runs along 900 South and Route 17 runs along 1700 South. Every UTA bus is wheelchair accessible. Bus times change on December 6, so check the times again after that.
What does it cost if I'm 65 or older?
If you're 65 or older, a ride on a bus, TRAX or the S-Line is $1 with a Reduced Fare FAREPAY card, and FrontRunner is $2. UTA will help you get the card: call 801-743-3882.
If a disability keeps you from using the regular bus or TRAX, UTA's paratransit service gives curb-to-curb rides. Call 801-287-7433 to apply.
Why this matters if you're thinking about a move
When I help someone plan a downsize, we talk about the day they drive less, not just the day they move. Sugar House is one of the few places in the city where a streetcar, two bus lines, a park and a grocery store are all close together. That can be the difference between a home that works for five years and one that works for twenty. More on that on my Sugar House downsizing page.
