Capital MetroRail
The Red Line will run on 32-miles of existing freight tracks between Leander and Downtown Austin. It will provide convenient service for suburban and central Austin residents.
Capital MetroRail Potential Future Service*
Future extensions are being studied along existing Capital Metro freight tracks from Downtown to Manor and beyond. Future extensions along TxDOT’s abandoned MoKan corridor also are possible.
Regional Commuter Rail**
A proposal by the Austin-San Antonio Intermunicipal Commuter Rail District would use existing tracks along MoPac Expressway to serve north and south Austin, and also would connect to Georgetown, San Marcos and San Antonio.
Capital MetroRapid
Sleek new high-tech buses “talk” to traffic signals, shortening bus travel times by as much as 20 percent. Capital MetroRapid stops feature “real time” next bus signs, giving customers the exact arrival time of their next bus.
Express & Local Bus
Both services will be expanded as part of the Long-Range Transportation Plan.
Circulators
When Capital MetroRail service begins, Local and special shuttle bus service will connect customers to and from key destinations.
Future Connections Study Area
Capital Metro is reviewing transit circulator alternatives, such as a modern streetcar,* to serve the University of Texas, the Capitol Complex, Mueller Community and Downtown Austin.
