I’ve lived in San Francisco, San Diego and abroad and these cities certainly don’t stop public transportation because there might be an increase in users, they actually run public transportation more frequently and in turn decrease auto traffic. It’s a given to riders, you will have to wait your turn if a whole stadium full of people is trying to ride at once. But, it doesn’t stop anyone from using public transport. And it’s the solution to traffic issues, all major metro areas have public transporation (and use it!)

My name is Natalie Mitchell and I am a UT student in the McCombs School of Business conducting consumer research on Captial MetroRail. I’m researching to unfold why consumers ride MetroRail and the associations that come to mind. I also, would like to speak with Austinites who live near the MetroRail stops, but choose not ride the rail. If anyone can help me out, I greatly appreciate that.

Thanks,
Natalie Mitchell

The Domain is close enough to the Kramer stop to walk to the Fest from the station. Cap Metro is missing an opportunity to increase ridership by not running this week-end. What’s up with that?

I can’t just sit there and wonder if I will get home. I need to know I can get home and at a descent hour. The people standing need something to hold onto. It is very dangerous. Why would you not have the same amount of trains running as you do during the morning. Morning commute was great just very disappointed in trying to get home.

I was told that was because there were not enough trains. Interesting that after its final stop at Howard, it takes off towards lakeline..empty.

Has anyone done a survery that perhaps more people would prefer that the 3:45PM train only goes to Howard and instead have the 4:20PM train go all the way to Leander?

How old are those tokens? When did capmetro stop issuing tokens?
