SYSTEM PLAN TRANSIT TUNNEL
The Downtown Transit Tunnel will separate our proposed light rail service from street traffic, enabling faster, safer and more reliable travel through downtown.
What’s planned for the tunnel downtown?
The downtown transit tunnel will provide seamless connections with the new light rail system that will improve the speed, reliability and performance of our entire transit system, allowing these transit lines to operate separate from street traffic and reducing travel time.
The tunnel's stations will provide connections to the new rail system and expanded bus service. In addition to a transitway, the stations will provide a new public space for transit customers and the larger community.
The stations will be climate-controlled and are planned to include features such as public art installations, a performance venue for live music, shops, coffee shops, restaurants, free Wi-Fi access, comfortable seating, public restrooms and security cameras. Agents at the CapMetro Transit Store will serve customers with transit information and sell tickets for all services.
