Riding Capital Metro, MetroRapid 801 (bus model: 2013 Nova LFX Artic) southbound from Capitol to South Congress Transit Center in Austin, Texas. This trip goes by the following places:
- Texas State Capitol (00:16)
- University of Texas Austin (background; 07:31)
- Downtown Austin (08:20)
- Austin City Hall (10:25)
- Colorado River (10:52)
- South Congress (SoCo; 13:05)
- Texas School for the Deaf (not seen, but it's on right side of the bus, 13:05)
- Saint Edward's University (17:27)
- South Congress Transit Center (20:10)
I really enjoyed the bus ride. The bus stop was informative and accessible friendly. Cap Metro is doing an awesome job! I cannot wait to see how Capital Metro (or Cap Metro) will grow (November 2020, voters approved Project Connect).

Also, of all the buses that I've boarded in Austin, it is clean and spotless! Great job Cap Metro! Keep those buses (and rail cars) clean!
