Started as a pilot program last summer, the service offers affordable, on-demand public transportation, similar to that of an Uber or Lyft. A supplement to the city’s fixed-route bus system, users are able to book, pay and track their ride by using the mobile app as well as at book.roundrock.rideco.com or 512-312-2124.
