Intercity Route Network

There are two routes serving the Austin-San Antonio corridor along IH 35, which collectively provide transportation to and from campus in San Marcos and between the two metropolitan communities. Service stops in Austin are linked in several locations to the Capital Metro bus system; Service to San Antonio is linked to the VIA bus system at the Randolph park-and-ride.

Austin
Austin route service opened to the general public in the fall of 2005; there are now a maximum of 12 service routes per day Monday through Thursday and 8 on Friday. Both this and the San Antonio service are open to the public and offer WiFi onboard which allow riders to use their computer while enroute to their destination; and bicycle racks to assist commuters who may have a few extra miles to go either before boarding or after leaving Bobcat Tram Intercity service. Off-campus ticket locations have been added at HEB locations in San Marcos, New Braunfels and Kyle to make it easier for the general public to purchase ticket punch-cards.

San Antonio
This service was added in August of 2006. We have added a 5th route for the Fall of 2007. This route has the same amenities as Austin service and several connections each day with the Austin route in San Marcos to allow for travel between San Antonio and Austin.
