Riding the bus (Capital Metro)

[Texas0407]

1. How much does it cost per ride?
2. Is it free for UT students?
3. Is there a monthly/yearly pass available and if so, how much does it cost?

1. 50c now, 75c starting Oct 13. A "Day pass" is the cost of two fares. There are no transfers anymore.
2. Yes
3. Monthly passes will be $18 next month.

Keep in mind that the rates are different for the type of bus you're on (dillo, metrobus, express). I think the new rates coming up are 50 cents, 75 cents, $1.50, respectively.

You can buy a couple of monthly passes now, before the rates go up. They will be honored through the end of the year.

I think they are getting rid of Dillo's under the new plan or pricing. I think Students at UT still ride all buses free. I don't know about the Heavy Rail train coming whenever they get it going. No hurry now, they are already months behind schedule.

Dillo routes are changing, but there will still be Dillos.

Rail is waiting on construction of new stations and permits, I guess.

If TIme Warner and Cap Metro fought to the death, would Loopy explode with glee? Who would he root for?

I would root for a company to come into town and stop being over budget, behind in construction, and less corruption. Actual accountability.

People who are not outraged are suckers.
