Several months after CapMetro officials announced a potential phased approach to increasing fares for the first time since 2015, the board unanimously voted on an increase effective Jan. 10, 2027 with another increase planned for January 2029.

How we got here: In a July news release, CapMetro officials said the fare increases would create a "more fiscally sustainable source of revenue" for the agency.

What's changing: Fares for a single ride are set to increase by the following:

• Local service and Pickup service: $1.25 (current), $1.50 (January 2027), $2.00 (January 2029)

• Commuter (Express and Rail) service: $3.50 (current), $4.00 (January 2027), $5.00 (January 2029)

• CapMetro Access service: $1.75 (current), $2.25 (January 2027), $3.25 (January 2029)

Reduced Local service fares will increase from $0.60 to $0.75 in January 2027 and $1 in January 2029. Reduced Commuter service fares will increase from $1.75 to $2 in January 2027 and $2.50 in January 2029.

A Round Rock hospital is the first in the greater Austin area to offer a new, minimally invasive treatment for artery blockages.

The overview: St. David's Round Rock Medical Center announced Sept. 1 that it began offering the percutaneous transmural arterial bypass procedure, which creates an alternate pathway for blood to flow around a blocked artery, according to a news release.

The PTAB procedure was first performed by vascular surgeons Drs. Nicolas Zea and Kofi Quaye at St. David's Round Rock.

The treatment is generally recommended for patients with peripheral artery disease, a condition that limits blood flow to the legs, the release states.
