Each year, Capital Metro invites its bus operators and mechanics representing its three service providers StarTran, First Transit and Veolia to demonstrate their skill in the Bus Roadeo. The Roadeo reinforces the safety and technical training all Capital Metro bus and van operators and mechanics receive, and also facilitates team-building and camaraderie among all of the employees in the Capital Metro family. Additionally, the top winners in each category will represent Capital Metro in the state and national competitions this coming spring.

Capital Metro’s Bus and Paratransit Roadeo is this Sunday, Nov. 1, at the Leander Station and Park & Ride, and it’s open to the public. The fun begins at 8 a.m.

Come cheer on your favorite bus or van operator. Here’s the list of competitors in each category:
