On Monday, Jan. 21, Capital Metro will operate its Saturday bus schedule in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. There will be no MetroRail, UT Shuttle or E-Bus service.

MetroAccess customers needing to keep their subscription trips on Jan. 21 will need to call (512) 478-9647 to schedule them. The reservation line will be staffed on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Capital Metro administrative offices and the Transit Store will be closed Jan. 21; however the GO Line will be staffed from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and customers will still have 24-hour access to the automated phone line and online trip planner.

For just $1 ($2 for a Day Pass), MLK March & Rally goers can catch a ride on route #2-Rosewood, which makes stops adjacent to the planned route and other event-related destinations. Capital Metro is adding buses to the route between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. so that riders can catch a bus every 15 minutes.
