Capital MetroRail Station Events in February
Community Invited to Five Educational Open HousesAustin, Texas, January 26, 2009 -Capital Metro invites the community to five open house events at stations along the MetroRail line during February. These educational events aim to familiarize customers with all aspects of how to ride MetroRail: touring the train and station, understanding the schedules and using the new ticket vending machines. Capital Metro representatives will be at every event to orient customers and answer their questions about the Red Line, beginning service March 30.
The open houses are free, come-and-go events, open to the public. Except for the Leander Station open house, parking will be limited. Riding the bus or carpooling is encouraged.
Sign Language interpreters for the Deaf will be available, and other reasonable accommodations can be requested at least three days in advance by contacting Nancy Crowther at (512) 389-7583 or nancy.crowther@capmetro.org.
