“I love sitting in traffic!”…said no one ever.
Living in Austin has its perks: a vibrant culture, a rockin’ live music scene, beautiful outdoor spaces and tacos. Lots and lots of tacos.
But like any bustling city, traffic is a big ol’ moldy spot in a bowl of delicious queso. That’s where CapMetro steps in, offering a range of public transit services that not only ease your commute but also contribute to a more sustainable and connected community.
Reclaim your lost time from sitting in gridlock so long you’d swear you’re moving backward. Instead, try a CapMetro bus or rail route to plow through emails, catch up on social trends, or zen out with your favorite pod. Let us handle the driving while you kick back!
CapMetro’s extensive network of bus routes, commuter rail, bike-sharing stations, on-demand services and more make navigating Austin a breeze. Whether you’re heading to work, school, or just exploring the city, there’s bound to be a service that can get you where you need to go without the stress of traffic jams and parking hassles.
Need to get North or South fast? Jump on a high-frequency 801/803 CapMetro Rapid bus. Headed to Q2 for an Austin FC game? Take a ride on the smooth CapMetro Red Line. Want to explore every nook and cranny of historic Downtown Austin or Lady Bird Lake? Grab a CapMetro Bikeshare e-assit bike and ride on.
By choosing CapMetro, you’re not just getting from A-to-B, you’re actively participating in making Austin greener. Single-occupancy vehicles are a leading cause of greenhouse gas emissions. Public transit, on the other hand, can significantly reduce these emissions by decreasing the number of cars on the road. A fully occupied CapMetro bus can remove up to 50 single-occupancy vehicles from the road and from traffic. Now, imagine the impact if all our 500+ buses were filled with passengers on every trip.
Who doesn’t love going green? Especially when that green is in your wallet. Using public transit can save you money on gas, parking fees, and car maintenance. With Day Passes starting at $2.50 for bus and $7 for rail, taking public transit can help you save green while going green. Over $13,000 a year on average.
But that’s not all. Discover even more value of CapMetro’s public transit services like late night routes, support for persons with disabilities and more!
