How to get from Austin Airport to Round Rock by bus

Unfortunately, there isn’t a direct bus between Austin Airport and Rock Rock. However, if you’re willing to transfer to another bus or two in the city center, this is a very affordable way to travel.

Firstly, you’ll need to board the Route 20 bus at the airport, which takes you to Capitol Station in 35 minutes. Once there, you’ll switch to the Route 801 bus, bound for the Tech Ridge Park & Ride.

After around 45 minutes, the bus will arrive at Tech Ridge, where you’ll need to transfer to your final bus, Route 152. This leg involves a non-stop ride, concluding at Georgetown/Palm Valley after 30 minutes. The entire trip will take approximately 2 hours, excluding waiting times.

How much is the bus from Austin Airport to Round Rock?

The journey from Austin Airport to Round Rock via public bus is rather cost-effective. The fare for the Route 20 bus from the airport is $1.25 (€1.15), and the same applies when transferring to the Route 801 bus towards Tech Ridge Park & Ride, and the Route 152 bus towards Round Rock.

Where do I get the bus from?

To catch the bus from Austin Airport to Round Rock, TX, you’ll start your journey at the lower level of the airport. The bus stops are well-marked and located near the Baggage Alaim area; look for the designated spots for Capital Metro, Austin’s public transportation system. Here, you can board the Route 20 bus.

Signs and information kiosks at the airport can provide additional guidance, and airport staff are also available to help direct you to the correct bus stop if needed.

Convenience

Since there’s no direct bus from Austin Airport to Round Rock, this transport option is considerably less convenient than a taxi or private transfer. You’ll have to navigate multiple transfers, manage your luggage during a brief walk, and potentially face considerable wait times for bus connections.

Editor’s Note

While the bus presents the most budget-friendly transfer option, its complexity and extended duration can be significant drawbacks. If you can book a taxi for a low rate in advance and split the fare, I suggest doing so.

Useful Tips

Stay alert to your stops and transfers to avoid missing your connection.

Download a transit app for real-time updates on bus schedules and routes.

Consider buying a day pass for unlimited rides if making multiple stops or returns.

Route 152 changes to Route 50 during your ride, but there is no need to change buses.
