A lot of tech is moving into Austin. I was just there for 2 months after being in NYC for 2 years. Anyone going down from SF or NYC will be disappointed with the public transportation.
- chiph 13y agoTo get around in Austin you use either a bicycle or a car/truck. There is bus service, and a one-track commuter rail link, but if your expectation is something like the connectivity of NYC then you will be sorely disappointed. Personally, I'm holding out for the city to build sky gondolas.
- reustle 13y agoI laughed the first time I heard the sky gondolas idea. I doubt it will ever take off. Yes, having a car is just about required in Austin, I tried the bus and it wasn't so great. I would love to see them add more rail lines though.
- vonmoltke 13y agoIndeed. And one of these days, I will finally move with it.
- seats 13y agocar2go is a pretty solid service in Austin. rent by the minute, pick up anywhere drop off anywhere.
- reustle 13y agoI used car2go almost daily. It was fairly reliable, but walking up to a mile to get to a car once in a while was annoying when you had things to do (I was living in SoCo). Other times, it was nice to walk. I would have simply walked to downtown when I wanted to go, but 25 minutes was just a tad too far.
