Capital Metro is nearing several major milestones in the All System’s Go! Long Range Transit Plan, including the impending introduction of MetroRail service. MetroRail service on the Austin to Leander line will have 9 stops, including one in the North Burnet/Gateway area near Kramer Lane.
Kramer Station will be located just south of the intersection of the Capital Metro rail line and Kramer Lane – just east of Burnet Road. Capital Metro has begun upgrading tracks at Kramer Station and plans to begin platform construction soon.
Capital Metro plans to adjust bus routes and schedules to connect Kramer Station to surrounding neighborhoods, major employers and activity centers. Kramer Station is also a future stop for MetroRapid service. Capital MetroRapid is a new service offering enhanced passenger amenities, including real-time bus arrival information at all MetroRapid stops, 10-minute frequency during peak hours and 15 minutes during off-peak service, with bus travel times reduced up to 20 percent.
