After years of having no reliable and inexpensive public-transportation way to get from Round rock to Downtown Austin, and back, The City has finally responded with a new Bus system that will connect Round Rock, to Austin's Capital Metro lines.
They plan on actually hiring a private bus company to get it started soon. They expect it to have a stop near Downtown Round rock, where people can take the bus to the Tech Ridge Park and Ride lot, by I35 and Parmer.
Round Rock is growing rapidly, and because of that, there is a need for a lot of people for this type of transportation. I think it'll also attract more job-seekers to Round rock, and help those who are trying to find an easier way to get to work now. The city fears that it might not get enough use out of the service, but they plan on having a re-evaluation in 3 years to see if it's going as planned; that's a good idea, on the surface, I mean as far as tax-payers money is concerned, I just hope that those that need it will use it, and wont have to go back to not not having it, just because it hasn't reached a state-defined usage number.
Anyway, as Round rock, continues to grow the need will continue to arise, so even if it stops in 3 year, it'll probably be back once again.
Signing out from Round Rock Texas,
Funmi!
