Bus Service
Take a bus for a safe and reliable ride to ACL for just $1.25 per ride! The official ACL Shuttle location has been moved to Sand Beach Park at Walter Seaholm/Electric Dr. CapMetro recommends riding one of our 3 bus routes to Zilker Park.
- Ride Routes 3, 30 or 803 directly to ACL. Routes 3 and 803 will take you near the intersection of Barton Springs/N Lamar. From there, you can walk about half a mile to Zilker Park. Route 30 drops off at Spyglass near MoPac on the south west side of Zilker Park.
- Route 30 service will be on detour, avoiding Barton Springs Rd during ACL. Check the Transit app for updated routes.
- Staying out even later? Our Night Owl buses run until 3 a.m. Friday and Saturday nights.
Rail Service
Ride the Red Line downtown from Leander, the Domain or other areas near our rail stations for $3.50 per ride. Once you arrive, walk half a mile to Republic Square to catch a bus to ACL.
- CapMetro Rail is operating special service on Sunday October 5 and 12!
- Last trains leave downtown at 12:30 a.m. each night of ACL.
- Note: There are Q2 Stadium Games on October 4th, 10th and 12th and some specific trips won't continue downtown as they will terminate at Kramer Station.
