Austin's new commuter rail system
Austin News
Austin will have a another option for public transportation soon! The new commuter train line will be called the Capital MetroRail, and the first section is set to open in Fall of 2008. Sleek new trains will provide service for suburban and central Austin residents.
Capital MetroRail's initial service will run on 32 miles of existing freight tracks between Leander and Downtown Austin. This should give the Cedar Park and Leander housing market an extra boost as homeowners in that area will be able to commute to and from downtown while using WiFi on the new trains. Further expansion of the system is planned to begin soon.
If you are interested in finding a home or condo located near the new rail stations give us a call at 1-800-790-7910.

It is hard to believe that Austin has never had a commuter rail line. I'm sure it will be a relief for many.
