Question: How long does it take to ride the bus from UT to the Domain?

Capital MetroRapid


Capital MetroRapid is a bus rapid transit[3] service in Austin, Texas, owned and operated by the Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Capital Metro).[4]  It currently consists of two routes which run north-south served by stations designed by McKinney York Architects.
Service on the first route, MetroRapid North Lamar/South Congress (Route 801), began on January 26, 2014.[5] It replaced existing bus Routes 1L/1M and the 101 Express, which traveled along the same corridor. (1M was renamed Route 1 Metric/South Congress, while a local version of the northernmost portion of former route 1L was created as Route 275.  The Metric corridor is now served by 325.)  Before the original Route 1 North Lamar/South Congress was split into 1L/1M in 2006, it was the busiest line in the Capital Metro system and peaked at 10 minutes headways Monday through Friday, with wider headways on the weekends.  (The current Route 1 has wider headways, resulting in overcrowding buses.)  Route 801 serves 43 stations between Tech Ridge in North Austin and Southpark Meadows via the University of Texas and Downtown Austin.
A second route, MetroRapid Burnet/South Lamar (Route 803), serves a total of 34 stations between The Domain and Westgate. It began operation during August 2014, but the original Burnet/Manchaca Route 3 remained in service at slightly reduced frequency.[6]
Description and Headways
As both Routes 801 and 803 run north to south, each travels down North Lamar Boulevard and Burnet Road respectively, from their northern terminuses.  Approaching the Guadalupe Street corridor, both share stops from 38th Street along Guadalupe into the UT area, The Drag and downtown.  Both lines then diverge at Cesar Chavez Street, and the 801 and 803 continue along South Congress Avenue and South Lamar Boulevard respectively to their southern terminuses.
Capital MetroRapid begins service at 5 a.m. Monday through Friday, with both lines operating high-frequency service of 10 minutes during the day, with early mornings and early evenings every 15 minutes; service ends at 12:30 a.m. Monday thru Wednesday and at 2:30 a.m. Thursday and Friday nights.  On Saturdays, it operates from 6 a.m. to 2:30a.m., and Sundays from 7 a.m. to 11:30a.m.  Weekend daytime headways consist of every 15 minutes, and seven nights a week (including late Thursday to Saturday nights), every 20 minutes.[7][8]
Criticism
The premium fare structure recommended by a consultant caused problems for the agency. It did not collect as much money back from the fare increase as was originally expected.[9] Other BRT systems in Texas such as San Antonio and El Paso intentionally priced their BRT system for local fare.  The MetroRapid bus fare was lowered to regular bus prices on January 8, 2017[10]
The agency still experiences MetroRapid problems. People cannot easily get a connecting local route at the Domain MetroRapid station--their nearest local routes are on Burnet road.There are no 803 stations at the Arboretum even though the frequency of the 3 was reduced. The 803 goes into the Pickle Research Center during times/days it is closed as opposed to a station easily connecting with other Capital Metro services. Customers using the 801 at the North Lamar Transit Center must walk to the local buses, they do not readily connect to the covered shelters. The North Lamar Metrorapid station is not well lit and has physical steps.

New stops
The 801 and 803 started to stop at 31st and Guadalupe during the summer of 2018.  The usual MetroRapid red shelters (with displays showing how soon the next buses will arrive) were not installed until October.
Broken Spoke on route 803 and St. Elmo and Fairfield on route 801 were first shown as working stops on the maps issued in advance of the August 19th, 2018 CapMetro service changes.  Rutland on route 803 and Parmer, North Loop East, and Slaughter on route 801 were first shown as working stops on the maps issued in advance of the January 6th, 2019 CapMetro service changes.
According to the "Approved January 2019 Service Changes" pamphlet, in Spring 2019 the southern terminus of route 803 will be shifted to a newly-established Westgate Transit Center (with attached park-and-ride parking lot).
