Ride CapMetro to Austin City Limits Music Festival
There are Bus, Rail, Bikeshare and other late-night service options for customers traveling to and from Zilker Park
AUSTIN, Texas — CapMetro is offering several convenient and reliable transportation options for customers heading to and from Zilker Park for the 2026 Austin City Limits Music Festival. Festivalgoers who take the Bus can also now easily pay their fare using Tap to Pay with a contactless credit, debit card or mobile smart wallet.
CapMetro provides three bus routes to get you close to Zilker Park. Routes 3 and 803 provide service to Barton Springs and North Lamar, where customers can then walk less than a mile to ACL Fest. Route 30 drops customers off on the west side of Zilker Park near MoPac at Spyglass. We encourage everyone to plan their trip using the Transit App, as some routes are detoured due to festival-related road closures.
For those staying out later, CapMetro’s Night Owl buses run until 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.
Customers coming from Leander, the Domain or other areas near Red Line stations can take CapMetro Rail to Downtown Austin. From there, they can walk about half a mile to Republic Square and catch Routes 3 or 803 to Zilker Park. The agency is providing special Sunday Rail service during both weekends of ACL. The last trains will leave Downtown at 12:30 a.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights during the festival.
Additionally, customers can rent a bike at any CapMetro Bikeshare station to get to Zilker Park. Check the Bikeshare App to find the docking station closest to you. CapMetro is also hosting a Bikeshare valet at 1732 Toomey Rd to ensure customers have a place to dock their bikes near the festival.
