Having lived in Central Austin for thirty-three years using the Bus system as my main form of transportation, I watched the city grew into a large international destination while the bus routes are locked into to a 1950s era segregated Texas city. I am an East Austinite but I often need to go over to the other side, West Austin has very few bus routes and no rational reason for what there is. On a recent Sunday I needed to go to Northwest Hills only to learn that there are no buses on Sunday west of Burnet Rd, the same when I had to go North Central to the Wells Branch area.

Its August 21, 2008, Thursday and Capital Metro is changing its Schedules on Sunday, August 24, there are no individual buss line schedules on any of the busses I have been on, at least two to four times a day over the last week, on at least 5 separate lines, including # 1, the most used of routes, nor at any of the libraries I been to. I was downtown today so I made a point of going over to the Capital Metro office to get some new schedule books, the only place I know you allowed to buy them.
