Is public transit good in Austin?

LOL no. SFMTA alone carries almost 10x as many weekday riders as Capitol Metro and that's not even counting BART, which is seems like you'd need to count BART to get to an equivalent service area population.

Not really but a big transit bond just passed that intends to expand the light rail system, eventually linking the airport to downtown and downtown to more of the central area.
There's going to be some sort of huge construction project on the interstate that bisects the town but the particulars have not yet been decided on that.
Will probably take 10+ years to build?

Just get a big truck like everyone else and you’ll be fine.
