Last year the city’s public transit agency saw a 15 percent increase in its MetroRapid and MetroRail ridership during SXSW. It provided 63,000 rail rides and 37,000 MetroRapid rides. Because of President Barack Obama's keynote conversation March 11 during SXSW Interactive, Capital Metro is anticipating service delays throughout the day.
