CapMetro Bus is the bus public transit service of the Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority (CapMetro) of Austin, Texas and serves Austin and the surrounding areas. MetroBus services include 82 standard routes and 15 high-frequency bus routes {{As of|2021|08|lc=y}}. It has several categories of routes: Local, Flyer and Limited, Feeder, Crosstown, Special services and UT Shuttles. CapMetro also operates an express bus service, MetroExpress, and a bus rapid transit service, CapMetro Rapid, in addition to the agency's commuter rail service, CapMetro Rail. In {{American transit ridership|annualdate}}, the bus system had a ridership of {{American transit ridership|TX Austin MB annual}}, or about {{American transit ridership|TX Austin MB daily}} per weekday as of {{American transit ridership|dailydateasof}}.

History

At the agency's inception, CapMetro originally operated a series of "paired" route service where two different routes that pass through downtown are served by the same buses, allowing riders to transfer between certain routes without leaving the bus. Since 2008, this practice has been eliminated and after a number of route pair reassignments, the agency merged the paired routes under single route numbers (for example, the 1 North Lamar and 13 South Congress were originally paired as they were the two busiest routes in the system, but they have since been merged as 1 North Lamar/South Congress).

Meanwhile, most local routes carried two digits before CapMetro assigned a third digit for routes that do not serve downtown in 2000 (for example, 25 Ohlen became 325). Flyer routes were renumbered altogether to match their local stop counterparts (for example, 65 Manchaca Flyer became 103), while express routes that operated during commute times only contained letters (for example, NEX Northeast Express was renamed 990 Manor/Elgin Express; but was originally 70 Northeast Express).

Vehicles

File:ACC The Accent Number 3 replaces the Dillo (3620377182).jpg

The majority of the current bus fleet consists of vehicles produced by two manufacturers, Gillig and New Flyer, with only relatively small generational design variations, most visibly in the use of flip-dot destination displays on older series versus LED displays on newer buses. A few smaller series of buses were acquired from other manufacturers, notably Optima (used preferentially on MetroRail shuttles) and MCI (used on express services). Older bus series produced by TMC and Blue Bird are no longer in service.

Standard routes

= Local =

MetroBus Local routes are intended to connect specific neighborhoods of Austin to Downtown Austin, with frequent stops. Since June 2014, north–south service within downtown Austin for all routes is provided via Lavaca Street northbound and Guadalupe Street southbound, with all routes serving at least one stop along both streets.

Prior to relocating routes to the Guadalupe/Lavaca corridor, many routes formerly utilized Brazos Street northbound and Colorado Street southbound before various construction projects took place. Since June 2014, the remaining lines no longer use Congress Avenue between 11th Street and Barton Springs Road. East-west service within downtown Austin for all routes is provided via 5th Street eastbound and 4th and 6th Streets westbound, so as to provide a connection along the Lavaca/Guadalupe corridor.

Some MetroBus routes are designated High-Frequency routes and operate with a headway of 15 minutes between buses weekdays, 20 minutes Saturdays.

= Round Rock =

CapMetro operates several services in the suburb Round Rock. Round Rock is not a CapMetro member city and therefore doesn't pay the 1% sales tax to CapMetro. Instead, Round Rock contracts CapMetro to provide certain mass transit services for the city. Round Rock services are designated as 50-99 and 152. CapMetro also operates MetroExpress route 980 North MoPac Express and Flyer service 152 Round Rock Tech Ridge Limited between downtown Austin and Round Rock. Routes {{as of|2021|09|lc=y}}:

MetroRapid

{{Main|CapMetro Rapid}}

In January 2014, CapMetro launched a bus rapid transit service branded "MetroRapid," utilizing articulated buses operating in shared lanes with automobile traffic. Service on the first route, MetroRapid North Lamar/South Congress (801), began on January 26, 2014.{{Cite web |last=Aaron |first=Michael |date=26 January 2014 |title=Capital Metro rolls out MetroRapid, new fares |url=http://kxan.com/2014/01/26/capital-metro-rolls-out-metrorapid-new-fares/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140324113235/http://kxan.com/2014/01/26/capital-metro-rolls-out-metrorapid-new-fares/ |archive-date=24 March 2014 |access-date=24 March 2014 |website=kxan.com |publisher=KXAN News}} It replaced existing bus Routes 1L and 1M, as well as the 101 Express, which traveled along the same corridor.

A second route, MetroRapid Burnet/South Lamar (803), serves a total of 24 stations between The Domain and Westgate.{{Cite web |title=Routes and Destinations |url=https://www.capmetro.org/metrorapid.promo.aspx?id=2775 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140324112200/https://www.capmetro.org/metrorapid.promo.aspx?id=2775 |archive-date=2014-03-24 |access-date=24 March 2014 |publisher=Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority}} Both the 801 and 803 drew citizen protest until premium fares were discontinued in 2017 and the 801 had also reduced frequency of the then operating 1L/1M.

UT Shuttle

The University of Texas Shuttle system, operated by CapMetro, is one of the largest university transit systems in the United States. It comprises 10 routes and carries over 5.2 million passengers a year. UT students, faculty, and staff may ride the shuttles at no charge with a valid UT photo ID. Without a UT photo ID, normal MetroBus rates apply.{{Cite web |title=Shuttles |url=https://parking.utexas.edu/transportation/shuttles |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210906060827/https://parking.utexas.edu/transportation/shuttles |archive-date=September 6, 2021 |access-date=October 7, 2018 |publisher=UT Parking and Transportation Services}}{{Cite web |last=Wear |first=Ben |date=July 18, 2010 |title=UT's Shuttle Subsidy Under Scrutiny |url=http://www.statesman.com/news/local/uts-shuttle-subsidy-under-scrutiny-810125.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100726065822/http://www.statesman.com/news/local/uts-shuttle-subsidy-under-scrutiny-810125.html |archive-date=July 26, 2010 |access-date=January 2, 2011 |publisher=Austin American=Statesman}}

= UT Shuttle history =

CapMetro took over university shuttle operations in 1989. Formerly, service had been provided by private bus companies. Immediate changes included upgraded buses with air conditioning, but also lengthening headway on some routes.{{Cite news |date=May 21, 2004 |title=A Battle on the Shuttle |work=The Austin Chronicle |url=http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Issue/print?oid=212026 |url-status=live |access-date=2008-08-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605060110/http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Issue/print?oid=212026 |archive-date=2011-06-05}}

In 1983, the University of Texas received six bids to manage the shuttle system. CapMetro entered into the picture in 1988, when the university contracted out to them. CapMetro, in turn, then subcontracted out to Laidlaw International, Inc., who had, up to that point, operated orange and white school buses{{Cite web |date=May 1990 |title=Capital Metro: Is It Worth the Wait? |url=http://www.e-yearbook.com/yearbooks/University_Texas_Cactus_Yearbook/1990/Page_28.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120514050443/http://www.e-yearbook.com/yearbooks/University_Texas_Cactus_Yearbook/1990/Page_28.html |archive-date=2012-05-14 |access-date=2008-08-25 |publisher=Cactus Yearbook |pages=28–29}} for the university on a contractual basis. Rather than use Laidlaw's existing bus fleet, however, CapMetro used their own. In so doing, CapMetro brought air conditioning and wheelchair accessibility to the shuttle service for the first time.{{Cite news |date=August 10, 1989 |title=City buses take over UT shuttle system |work=The Daily Texan}} The transition, however, was not without controversy. Among the other contested issues was the fact that these new shuttles didn't have a stereo system{{Cite news |date=August 29, 1989 |title=Capital Metro debut earns mixed reviews |work=The Daily Texan}}{{Cite news |date=August 29, 1989 |title=Shuttle drivers argue need for some "friendly sounds' on |work=The Daily Texan}}

In 1991, CapMetro canceled its contract with Laidlaw and contracted out with DAVE Transportation, instead{{Cite news |date=June 3, 1991 |title=DAVE wins bid to run run shuttle system |work=The Daily Texan}}{{Cite web |last=Freeze |first=Joshua |date=March 1999 |title=Transit Union Takes Bus Company to the End of the Line |url=http://www.utwatch.org/archives/workingstiff/vol2no2_bus.html |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081205152326/http://www.utwatch.org/archives/workingstiff/vol2no2_bus.html |archive-date=2008-12-05 |access-date=2008-08-25 |website=UT Watch}}

Amidst allegations of union busting, in 1999, CapMetro canceled its then current contract and instead contracted out with ATC/Vancom, instead{{Cite news |date=February 17, 2004 |title=Shuttle disputes go round and round |work=The Daily Texan |url=http://www.dailytexanonline.com/media/storage/paper410/news/2004/02/17/TopStories/Shuttle.Disputes.Go.Round.And.Round-609211.shtml |access-date=2008-08-25}} {{dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}{{Cite news |date=January 26, 1999 |title=Cap Metro hires new maintenance contractor |work=The Daily Texan}} Six years later, in 2005, CapMetro, citing concerns over the comparatively low wages ATC/Vancom paid, negotiated a contract with First Transit to operate the UT shuttle buses.{{Cite news |date=March 4, 2005 |title=Cap Metro Switches UT Shuttle Providers |work=The Austin Chronicle |url=http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Issue/story?oid=oid:261162 |url-status=live |access-date=2008-08-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070410031728/http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Issue/story?oid=oid%3A261162 |archive-date=2007-04-10}}

= UT Shuttle routes =

The UT Shuttle system includes a number of routes during the University of Texas semester. They do not operate on Saturdays, except during finals. Since September 2014, numbered routes have been used exclusively at bus stops, though signage on buses may use either numbered or lettered signage.

CapMetro's Dillo service was a circulator service in downtown Austin. In May 2000, the Dillo service went through a major restructuring. It was shut down in 2009 after over 30 years of operation due to low ridership.{{cite news |last1=Wear |first1=Ben |title=Dillos roll into the sunset after years of being ignored |url=https://www.statesman.com/NEWS/20170724/Dillos-roll-into-the-sunset-after-years-of-being-ignored |access-date=September 7, 2021 |work=Austin American-Statesman |date=July 24, 2017 |language=en}} The service used forest-green trolley buses with an armadillo painted on the side.

File:CapitalMetroAirportFlyer (cropped).JPG

The MetroAirport service (sometimes called MetroAirport Flyer) was created when Austin–Bergstrom International Airport opened in May 1999. It was primarily served by buses carrying the "MetroAirport" livery, though may on occasion have been served by buses in the regular livery. The service was eliminated on June 3, 2018, and replaced by the extension of 20.
