Cap Metro Rail Tour

Today Sean and I were able to attend a tour of the new Cap Metro passenger rail, which should be starting up in the Spring.  We are very excited to have this opportunity, and we learned that there will be multiple stops throughout Austin including one at Lakeline, Howard, Braker, MLK, and Plaza Saltillo. They plan on having multiple bus routes from each stop.  And eventually, Cap Metro hopes to extend the passenger rail to not-so-distant places such as San Antonio.
