[quote user="videomaker"] OK, This is to all the neysayers in and around Austin that said this commuter train was a rip off and all the other bad things about it...I went to the open house held at Leander today and Im here to tell you that you should be proud of this new light rail/commuter rail train you now have ! This is one heck of a train,the cars are all WI-FI equipted and are handicapped accessible, security will be very present..The trains will run from 5am til 830-9ish and from 4pm til 7ish M-F.. There is no reason not to ride it ! Some emplyees were saying that from the looks of the crowd that came out the schedule may have to be modified for a Sat run...I was there from about 11:00 til 2 and the crowd was big all day ! I would give up my car permanantly to ride this train everyday ! Give up your car if you live in Leander and work in Austin and ride it and you will see how much better it will be ! You have a great thing there and it will get bigger and better !  My advise to you is USE IT ,IT's GREAT ![/quote] I too went to the open house.  The equipment is first class.  So too are the station facilities.  I am looking forward to the start-up of the service on March 30th.  It will cut approximately 15 minutes off my commute time to the University of Texas.  In addition, because of somewhat wider seats, the ride should be a bit more comfortable. Initially, the top speed on the train will be 60 mph.  However, once Capital Metro has gained sufficient experience operating the trains, the top speed could be lifted to 75 mph, which would cut more time off of my commute.
