Capital MetroRail is a new passenger rail system between the City of Leander and the Convention Center in Downtown Austin. Check the schedule or view the station maps to determine the best way to catch the train.
The Red Line is a 32-mile starter line that provides service to commuters during peak morning and afternoon hours. MetroRail operates on existing freight tracks and has nine stations from Leander to Downtown Austin.
MetroRail is part of the All Systems Go Long-Range Transit Plan that includes expanded local and express bus service, MetroRapid bus service, and new and improved park and ride lots. The Central Texas community helped create the transit plan and approved a referendum in 2004 to allow Capital Metro to operate passenger rail.
Capital Metro is developing plans to increase frequency and expand the days and hours of service. Any expansion will require additional resources for purchasing more vehicles, building more railroad track and other infrastructure.
