If the train runs every hour on the hour, then that's pretty convenient.
If it's twice daily then maybe it's more of a pita than driving.
Let me tell you, it’s a HUGE pita to drive that I-35 corridor. I absolutely HATE it..its a constant stop and go and heaven forbid there be a wreck to slow you down!!
It is a waste of time. You still need a car to get around Austin. Public transportation is not as efficient for the wide open layout in western cities.
I will always take my car with me. For one reason I see this money pit being a gun free zone and I always carry.
Even every few hours wouldn’t be so bad. If it was an Auto-Train type affair, where you drive your vehicle into special automobile-carrying cars, that would be just about perfect. And it would probably make a lot of money while saving Texans the long boring drive between Dallas and Austin.
