Capital Metro, in partnership with Austin Transportation, has installed a pilot bus stop that extends the curb to the bus with a ramp to protect pedestrians on Guadalupe Street in the hopes of improving speed of service, safety and traffic congestion.
The bus stop, which is made out of recycled materials, will take over the two existing stops at the intersection of Dean Keeton Street and Guadalupe Street, and will be in place for six months to test its speed, reliability and safety, said Caitlin D’Alton, the City of Austin’s transit enhancement program manager.
