Why fight traffic on your commute to and from work when you can use the time for something you'd rather be doing instead? Board a Rail train and watch the scenery, read, catch up with a friend or play on your phone with free onboard Wi-Fi.

Rail's 32-mile route is designed to take you to and from your destination, connecting downtown to North Austin to Leander. Whether you are commuting to work downtown, headed to UT or moving between any of the nine stations on the line, Rail is the comfortable, reliable way to get where you're going.

How to Ride Rail

Park & Ride

Check out our Park & Ride locations and look for Route 550 to be connected to a rail station.

Catch a Rail Connector

Most Rail stations are served by bus routes that can take you to your final destination, so you can ride the train and then seamlessly catch a quick bus ride to major employers, shopping and education destinations.

Connector buses will be waiting for you when you arrive via Rail at the following stations:

• Take the train to MLK Station and then hop on a Connector bus to take you to the UT campus (Route 465).
• At Kramer Station, Route 466 will take you to The Domain or UT's Pickle Research Campus.
