SLC is gaining ridership and as more projects come online, ridership will increase. The Salt Lake Valley is nearly built out. Soon, we will only have 1 way to go...up. This will further increase the ridership of the system.
It's standard light rail, I'm not sure what youngregina was asking. We didn't spend money to make it into a subway or a wannabe heavy rail line like Seattle did, but it doesn't actually share lanes with cars (standard light rail). It's not a streetcar system.
