Each urban rail vehicle, which costs about $4 million, has a typical life span of 25 years powered by offsite-generated electricity, rail cars offer better acceleration and deceleration than buses. Urban rail, at an estimated build-out cost of $65-80 million per mile, is more expensive. Choosing a ModeĮven at this late date, Project Connect is still considering both urban rail and Bus Rapid Transit as potential modes. Study leader Kyle Keahey told the Chronicle that the project is focused at this point on three key decisions: 1) urban rail or bus rapid transit 2) a bridge, short tunnel, or long tunnel to cross Lady Bird Lake 3) an eastern or western tunnel for the Hancock alignment. The workshop/open house provided more information about Austin's potential high-capacity transit service, modes, and routes. On Saturday, April 12, at Midway Field House on East Riverside, the Project Connect Central Corridor study team hosted the last public workshop before they present the "Locally Preferred Alternative" to the Central Corridor Advisory Group on May 2.

The two main remaining questions: whether to bridge or tunnel across Lady Bird Lake, and how to get from 41st & Red River to 53rd & Airport Blvd. Central Corridor Rapid Transit: Project Connect is almost finished with its Locally Preferred Alternative transit route map.
