South By Southwest (SXSW) Service

CapMetro's service for the annual South By Southwest festival gets you to and from events! However, due to a high volume of riders at peak event times, you may experience delays traveling in downtown or East Austin by CapMetro Bus from March 12-18. We are operating special extended Rail service during SXSW this year.

NOTE: Trains will be packed! Rail is expected to experience a high volume of riders. Take earlier trains or bus to ensure on-time arrival. When trains are standing room only, please squeeze in to make room for your fellow passengers.

If you have any questions, please call our Customer Service GO Line at 512-474-1200.
