Project Connect is making it easier for customers to affordably access schools, grocery stores, doctor's offices, and other locations in their neighborhoods. With Pickup by CapMetro, riders can arrange on-demand transit service from their homes to anywhere within the Pickup service zone. As part of Project Connect, three new Pickup zones have been launched since 2021:

  • Dessau
  • South Menchaca
  • North Oak Hill

Riders may book a trip anywhere within a single service zone for the same cost as a trip on CapMetro bus and Rapid, $1.25. As with all CapMetro services, kids ride free.

To see a map of all Pickup zones and learn how to schedule a ride, here's a comprehensive Factsheet.
