Next month, Capital Metro will host five Open Houses at several stations along the new passenger rail line opening this March. These events will offer future customers the chance to see the train, learn how to use the ticket vending machines and receive service information.
The open houses are open to the public and people can stop by at anytime during the event. Except for the Leander Open House, parking will be limited. Riding the bus or carpooling is encouraged.
Sign Language interpreters for the Deaf will be available. Any reasonable accommodations need to be requested 3 days in advance by contacting Nancy Crowther at (512) 389-7583 or nancy.crowther@capmetro.org.
