Nobody likes traffic, and CapMetro is here to help take cars off the road and get people moving. Public transit offers many solutions to the growing issue of congestion in Austin. Here are some of the ways that CapMetro tackles the challenges of the daily commute.
What is the value of transit?
Get your time back on transit. Instead of sitting in gridlock, catch up on work, listen to music, watch a clip or just relax while CapMetro gets you to and fro.
A full bus can potentially take up to 50 single occupancy vehicles out of traffic.
CapMetro provided 24.5 million rides in 2023. Imagine that number in cars off the road.
Cars can be expensive. With Day Passes from $2.50-$7, taking transit is cheaper than car payments, insurance, gas and maintenance.
