CARTS has updated the 1515X Smithville–Bastrop–Austin commuter route based directly on rider feedback.

New schedule adjustments and added downtown Austin stops — including access near the Capitol — are designed to make your daily commute faster, easier, and more convenient.

This service continues to provide a reliable alternative to driving, helping reduce congestion while giving riders a stress-free way to get to work.

Best of all: the route is FREE for a limited time.
