3500 South MAX[3] was a bus rapid transit (BRT) line in northwestern Salt Lake County, Utah, United States, operated by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) that ran between Magna, West Valley City, and South Salt Lake. It opened for service on July 14, 2008, and was the first of several BRT lines that UTA is planning in the Salt Lake Valley, Weber County, and Utah County.[4]
The BRT line was the first and last route to operate with the name MAX (UTA's former branding of its BRT lines). The line was temporarily suspended on April 5, 2020, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on public transport, and in the summer of 2022, UTA announced that the line would be permanently discontinued as of August 7, 2022.[5][6][7]
