Rapid
CapMetro is committed to getting you where you need to go, and Rapid is how we get you there fast. Whether you're heading to work or campus, there's a Rapid bus coming every 10-15 minutes on weekdays. Don't worry, your ride to your weekend plans are on us, too. Never arrive late to the fun thanks to Rapid buses running every 15-20 minutes throughout most of the day on Saturday and Sunday.
Rapid routes run North-South, connecting The Domain to Westgate and Tech Ridge to Southpark Meadows, with stops through UT campus and downtown.
In Spring 2025, we are opening two more Rapid lines in East Austin.
