CAP Metro adopts minor January 2027 service changes to improve reliability
The board approved staff-proposed January 2027 schedule adjustments to improve reliability: small frequency changes to Route 337 and Rapid 803, standardizing Red Line weekday service to every 37 minutes, and a minor Pickup East ATX boundary expansion to include the 31 East 5th Street campus; changes take effect Jan. 10, 2027.
The full story
Jordan McGee of CAP Metro's planning department presented the January 2027 service change package designed to improve day‑to‑day reliability and better match scheduled service to operating resources. McGee described targeted, data‑informed adjustments: Route 337 would run every 20 minutes during higher‑demand weekday periods and every 25 minutes during other peak windows (replacing prior 15/20 minute patterns in those periods), Rapid 803 weekday frequency would shift slightly from every 10 to 11 minutes (and 12 to 13 minutes in another band), and the Red Line would operate on a consistent 37‑minute weekday schedule to reduce variability tied to single‑track constraints and freight windows.
