Austin's Rapid 800 and 837 bus lines go fully electric with 10-15 minute peak service
Austin is a city in Travis County, Texas. Austin's CapMetro says its Rapid 800 and Rapid 837 bus lines have moved to fully electric operation, running every 10 to 15 minutes at peak. Two endpoint park-and-rides opened with them: Expo Center with 159 car spaces and Goodnight Ranch with 64, both with overhead pantograph charging. The work is part of the voter-approved Project Connect program, backed by about $65.6 million in Federal Transit Administration funding. (GSM, from the CapMetro milestone announcement)
