Connecting to 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 fixed route 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.
