CapMetro offering special service for ACL 2022

AUSTIN, Texas - CapMetro is gearing up for the 2022 Austin City Limits Music Festival and the influx of people that comes with it.

The transit agency will be providing multiple routes to Republic Square, so festival goers can catch the free ACL shuttle for both weekends. The shuttle buses between Republic Square and Zilker Park are not operated by CapMetro.

CapMetro will also have direct routes to Zilker Park and will be operating late Night Owl routes until 3 a.m. for those staying to see the later performers. The Night Owl service runs between downtown and neighborhoods throughout the city on Friday and Saturday night only from the downtown bus stop on 6th and Congress.

Due to the festival, regular bus service will be detoured along Route 30, avoiding Zilker Park, says CapMetro. Route 4 will service Stop ID 1977 on Veterans Drive after 7 p.m. during ACL.
