Salt Lake City Airport to Provo

I need to get from Salt Lake City Airport to Provo, and I don't drive. The
Greyhound timings are inconvenient and I can't locate anything on the UTA
Website, so I guess it's a cab. (This is a business trip so I'm not too
worried about expense.)

Will I be able to get a cab from the line at the airport to go this
distance, or should I book in advance?

Or are there any other public-transport options I'm overlooking?

TIA

Well, as it turned out, my hosts have booked me a limo from SLC to Provo.
As a matter of interest, how much do you think I should tip the driver,
given that I don't know what the fare is (it's prepaid by my hosts)? I
don't normally fret overmuch about tipping etiquette but this is a new
situation for me!

Usually, its $1 or $2 per bag for airport transportation. If its one of
those fancy limos, not your average airport shuttle service, then I
guess maybe $15 ought to do it.

UTA service requires multiple steps. First, bus route 50 from the airport to
downtown SLC (Temple Square light rail station), or bus route 56 from the
airport to Meadowbrook light rail station. Then the TRAX light rail system
(701: North-South line) from either downtown (Temple Square station) or
Meadowbrook station to the last stop at Sandy Civic Center station.
Finally, bus route 811 from Sandy Civic Center light rail station to Provo.
Approximate schedules for weekday travel are as follows.

Bus route 50
Operates every 30 minutes; travel time is 21 minutes from airport to
downtown SLC (Temple Square light rail station)

Bus route 56
Operates every 45 minutes; travel time is 32 minutes from airport to
Meadowbrook light rail station

TRAX light rail route 701
Operates every 15 minutes; travel time is 37 minutes from Temple Square
station to Sandy Civic Center station, or 18 minutes from Meadowbrook
station to Sandy Civic Center station.

Bus route 811
Operates every 60 minutes; travel time is 66 minutes from Sandy Civic Center
light rail station to Provo.

Note that additional routes may also operate during rush hours, but these
are the full time routes available.

For completeness, the Greyhound Lines schedules effective 15 August 2006 are
as follows.

Salt Lake City 0830 1800 2230
Provo 0925 1855 2325

The first two buses operate from SLC to Las Vegas; the last bus operates
from SLC to Albuquerque.
