2014 Update: I rode the RedLine from the Howard Station to downtown. It was easy and fun. I highly recommend it as a transportation option.
Service is planned to begin on the Capital MetroRail Red Line on Monday, March 30, 2009. The sleek trains, designed for commuter convenience will be equipped with high-back seats, bicycle and overhead racks,Wi-Fi connections and some will feature tray tables. Initially the service will be during morning and afternoon peak hours with regular and shuttle buses available to carry you to your final destination.
The Red Line will run between Leander and Downtown Austin on 32-miles of existing freight tracks. Future connections are being studied .
The downtown station is complete and The MLK, Jr. Bus Transfer Plaza is expected to be completed in January.
The 9 stations stops are 1. Downtown located on 4th between Neches and Trinity, 2. Plaza Saltillo located on 5th and Comal, 3. MLK, Jr. located at MLK, Jr. and Alexander, 4. Highland located on Airport Blvd., 5. Crestview located west of Lamar between Justin and St. John's, 6. Kramer located near Kramer Lane east of Burnet, 7. Howard located on Howard Lane at Mopac, 8. Lakeline located on Lakeline Blvd. at Lyndhurst and 9. Leander located on Hwy 183 north of FM 2243.
