I’ve been using CapMetro’s Park & Ride at Tech Ridge for about 2 years now. I’ve probably saved a couple thousand miles on my car and a hundreds of gallons of gas. One development that I’ve been pretty excited about is the new light rail that’s being deployed in Austin this Fall. One of the stops up north is about a mile away from my house which opens up new possibilities for me to commute into work. I’ve actually been thinking about getting a bike so I can bike to the Howard station, then take the light rail into the MLK station, and take the express bus into campus. The great thing about light rail is that the commute time isn’t contingent on traffic like the bus that I ride to work. Also they’re planning on having wifi on every Light Rail. If you’re interested in finding out more about it, visit the CapMetro site and take a look at the maps and the pictures.
