<P mce_keep="true">Capital Metro has announced that the start-up date for the commuter rail service from Leander to Austin has been delayed until at least the middle of September. In addition, it said that the scheduled running time from Leander to Austin will be increased from 52 to 60 minutes, thereby reducing significantly the schedule spread between the current bus service and proposed rail service. As if to add insult to injury, the number of trains scheduled to and from Leander will be reduced to accommodate expected greater passenger loads down the line. Lastly, Capital Metro will use only four of the six train sets it bought because of unforseen operating constraints. In other words, millions of dollars of equipment will sit idle. Is this a first class operation or what? </P>
