Festival-goers coming from Leander, the Domain, or areas near our Red Line station can take the train to Downtown Austin. CapMetro will provide special event service on both Sundays, October 6 and 13, for riders. The last trains depart downtown at 12:30 a.m. each night of ACL.

There is also an Austin FC game on Saturday, October 12, and higher ridership demand is expected for both events. Officials recommend customers view the rail schedule to plan their trip.

CapMetro is also hosting a Bikeshare valet at 1602 Toomey Road to allow customers to rent a bike at any of its Bikeshare stations to get to Zilker Park. You can download The CapMetro Bikeshare app to find the docking station closest to you.
