The city’s public transportation system, Capital Metro, offers reliable bus and rail service connecting key destinations, while rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are widely available for quick trips. Many visitors love renting bikes or electric scooters to cruise along scenic trails, especially around Lady Bird Lake and through downtown’s vibrant streets. With walkable districts, ample bike lanes, and plenty of parking options, navigating Austin is a breeze—so you can spend less time in transit and more time soaking up everything this dynamic city has to offer.
