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.

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.

[4][Note 3] Each of the initial 22 stations along the MAX line were designed by University of Utah architecture students.

[10][Note 1] The 3500 South MAX runs Monday through Saturday (no Sunday service) from about 6:00 am to midnight (every fifteen minutes on weekdays and every half-hour on Saturdays) to coincide with the TRAX schedule (except Sunday service).

[11] Original plans were to discontinue MAX service between the Millcreek and West Valley Central TRAX stations once the West Valley extension of the TRAX Green Line was completed.

[3][Note 4] The 3500 South MAX connected with the TRAX Green Line at the West Valley Central Station and with the Blue and Red lines at the Millcreek station.

The Green Line provides service from West Valley City to the Salt Lake City International Airport via Downtown Salt Lake City, the Blue Line provides service from Draper to Downtown Salt Lake City, and the Red Line provides service from the University of Utah to the Daybreak Community in South Jordan in southwest Salt Lake Valley.

(The 5600 West MAX will initially provide service along 5600 West from 6200 South in Kearns north to 2700 South and then connected with Downtown Salt Lake City [including the Salt Lake City Intermodal Hub].

As there are no MAX stations within the Magna Loop, along this section of the line (when included) the 3500 South MAX line acts as a local bus and stops at all designated bus stops as requested.

[14] The first stop for the Magna Loop[Note 4] is at 3435 South on 8400 West (SR-111/Bacchus Highway).

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) has designated the parking lot for its chapel at 3084 South 8400 West as a Park and Ride lot.

Starting in Magna, the first station on the 3500 South MAX eastbound line (which is preceded by the Magna Loop on morning runs) is the 8400 West Station (8385 West 3500 South).

(This station will be future connection with the 5600 West MAX BRT line.)

(This short one-way section of West 3590 South is immediately north of the TRAX Green Line right of way and the TRAX passenger platforms for the West Valley Central Station.)

(The West Valley Intermodal Hub and surrounding civic buildings are all part of a transit-oriented development called Fairbourne Station.)

(This station will also be the future connection with the 5600 West MAX BRT line.)

Finally, it heads west until it reaches the end of the line at the 8400 South Station (210 West 3300 South), unless it is an afternoon or evening run, in which case it will continue through the Magna Loop.
