CapMetro says the Pickup service can help customers in Pflugerville get to important locations, such as shopping centers, medical services, City Hall, the Library, local parks, and downtown Pflugerville.

Kids ages 18 and younger ride free. Children 10 years and younger must be accompanied by an adult.

Customers can download the app from either the iOS or Android app store, register for an account, and book a trip. A single ride costs $1.25, the same charge as a Single Ride pass for MetroBus and MetroRapid services. A Capital Metro Day Pass, 7-Day Pass, or 31-Day Pass will also cover a Pickup ride.
