Impressive. I love what Salt Lake City has accomplished. Puts the big cities to shame like Philly where Im from. How many of these cars are they getting?

@ghostengineer - UTA has ordered 77 of the new low-floor vehicles, which will more than double the current fleet of 69 vehicles.

nice,but i prefer the high platform trains,the stations are safer plus its easier for wheelchair users.

The ones here in Charlotte, NC don't have as nice looking seats or wheelchair ramps. They are still really cool though.

If we get some more Siemens S70's in Houston I hope they look as cool as this.

Really cool video. However I am sorry to say but I do not like the new trax trains :( I like the oldest ones they have, the ones that always drive to university. I like the more real trains, the new one is too futuristic, but thats the way of the world. All in all I love trax, really enjoy riding it, and soooo glad they are expanding it and bringing it to West Jordan!!!!!

Dats too bad all TRAX trains aren't ALL the kind you step through even to the platform. That's how they have them in Phoenix.
