CITIZEN COMMENTS TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
Fred Mauney, 235 South Rio Grande Street, said he was on disability. He said each month he bought a disability bus pass from Utah Transit Authority (UTA). He said his disability paycheck was deposited in the bank at the first of each month but due to the Thanksgiving holiday, his check was not deposited until late Monday afternoon. He said Tuesday morning he waited at 200 South 200 West for the bus to go buy his bus pass. He said when he boarded the bus, the bus driver told him he either had to have a bus pass or pay the fare. Mr. Mauney said he pulled out his pass from November and showed it to the bus driver. He said the bus driver told him to throw November's pass away. He said the bus driver again asked him to pay the fare or get off the bus.
Mr. Mauney said he did not know if he should file a complaint against UTA. He said he wanted to bring it to the City Council first. He said if something was not done, he would file in Federal Court.
