AUSTIN — CapMetro has approved service changes for summer 2024 to improve on-time performance and efficiency, the organization’s website says.
CapMetro makes planned changes to its service three times a year to improve passengers’ riding experience and respond to shifts in how customers use the service. The changes will be implemented on Sunday, May 26.
Summer Service
CapMetro will transition to summer-level service on all the UT Shuttle routes.
School Trips Evaluation
On select bus routes, a school trip extends the route path during limited times to pick-up and drop-off students and personnel close to their schools.
CapMetro says it has identified opportunities to improve the school trips to increase usage and better serve students and families. Therefore, they are retaining all school trips. These school trips will be suspended for summer service and will return in the fall, as normal:
- Route 4 (7th Street) to Austin High School & the Liberal Arts and Science Academy (LASA)
- Route 217 (Montopolis Feeder) to Allison Elementary School
- Route 315 (Ben White) to Small Middle School
- Route 333 (William Cannon) to Perez Elementary School
- Route 337 (Koenig/Colony Park) to LBJ Early College High School
CapMetro will continue to evaluate and monitor school trip usage on an ongoing basis.
Minor Schedule Adjustments
To improve on-time performance and reliability, the following Bus schedules will be adjusted:
- Route 5: Move timepoint from Chicon to Leona
- Route 350: Minor schedule adjustments
