MetroRail Temporarily Suspended over Labor Day Weekend

AUSTIN, TX (August 30, 2022) – MetroRail service will be suspended during Labor Day Weekend so CapMetro can continue construction projects for the future McKalla Station and additional double-tracking work along the 32-mile rail line. The suspension will take place from Friday, September 2 to Monday, September 5. There will be no MetroRail service during that time.

To better serve customers during the MetroRail suspension, CapMetro will operate a shuttle to serve Leander, Lakeline and Howard Stations before heading to Downtown Station. CapMetro also offers alternative bus service from all MetroRail station locations that can take customers downtown, although not directly to Downtown Station.

Please note that systemwide CapMetro will operate a Sunday-level of service on Labor Day, Monday, September 5. There will be no MetroExpress or MetroRail shuttle service then, though Pickup will be in service.

To view the full list of the alternative service, view this service alert.

If customers have questions or need real-time information, they can call the Customer Service GO Line at 512-474-1200.
