In advance of improvements to the city of Round Rock’s Transit Development Plan, some route changes to the city’s existing system went into effect Jan. 9.
Among these changes are the discontinuation of Capital Metro routes 150 and 51 within the city. Route 150 served commuters traveling to Howard Station, while Route 51 connected riders along Louis Henna Boulevard to St. David’s Round Rock Medical Center. In absence of these routes, riders can still make their way to Howard Station via Route 152 and Tech Ridge. Route 51 is expected to be replaced by a mobility on-demand service in the coming months, according to the city.
Route 152 will also run with increased frequency, about every 45-60 minutes between 6:30 a.m.-8 p.m. Route 50, which previously ran down to La Frontera Boulevard, will no longer do so in anticipation of mobility on demand becoming available in that area. The route will be modified to go down Mays Street instead, to Dell Technologies and Walmart, with a stop being added at Texas State University.
Route 980 will not be subject to any changes at this time.
