I Heart the Dillo, and You Should, Too.
Free ‘Dillo service (the trolley-like buses downtown) is getting a make-over. With a lot of work by the city and cap metro and with heavy input from your representatives at DANA (the Downtown Austin neighborhood Association), the ‘Dillo map has been simplified into an easy to remember North/South, East/West route with a greater frequency of buses (every 5 minutes during the week) that is expected to make the service more convenient for every day riders and casual users trying to get around town.
If you want this phenomenal service to continue, I recommend using it and using it often.
BTW – my favorite route? It’s the one that goes from 5th and Red River to Whole Foods back to 5th and Red River. HOW COOL IS THAT?

has been impacted, Cap Metro has posted additional information here:
