Austin's transit agency CapMetro is preparing to adjust its bus network to integrate with the upcoming light rail system, creating connections between buses and trains while maintaining efficient service across the city.
• Project Connect light rail construction will begin in 2027 after surviving legislative challenges
• Three contractors qualified for final engineering and construction with selection coming in early 2026
• Three options proposed for busiest routes (801/803): continue alongside light rail, partially feed light rail, or become complete feeder routes
• New airport connections including extension of Route 350 to create north-south airport access bypassing downtown
• Route 300 (second busiest route) getting major redesign in Southeast Austin
• Route 30 is becoming Route 8 with increased frequency from 30 to 15 minutes
• Light rail will initially run from 38th Street to Downtown with branches to Riverside and South Congress
