tarzioo_ Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Is anyone pretty familiar with Austin, TX ? I am thinking of taking a train there for my vacation next month and I was wondering how easy it will be for me to get around town without a car. I've been twice but I always rode with my friends so getting to places was never an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your planning on staying downtown I am sure you will be ok. There is always uber, taxis, etc. too if you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-tess. Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I've never done uber. How pricey is it ? It's not bad! Cheaper than taxi mostly. There is lyft there too. Use my code and we both get a credit. Also, E 6th st. Is cool. The other side of sixth street is terrifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think downtown is where I would like to stay and then hit up a few of the record stores. Probably just stay 2 nights and then head back.

Downtown is cool. I stay downtown when I'm there. You can walk to a lot of cool places from there and I could give you a bunch of restaurant / bar / coffee shop recommendations.

It's a 10 hr train ride but Austin is so much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been twice but I always rode with my friends so getting to places was never an issue. Went to Austin on a Greyhound and got around by walking and buses for the weekend. Staying in a hotel in downtown helped a lot, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarzioo_ Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I want to go to Austin too. It'll be a longer train ride for you ( I don't even know if there is a train connection for you lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 It'll be a longer train ride for you ( I don't even know if there is a train connection for you lol) I've checked before. Train to Chicago, then Grey Hound the rest of the way. Only take like 4 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Lol !!!! But is it cheaper than flying ? Not by much, and certainly not enough for the extra time wasted. Edit: Speaking of flying, I really need to buy my ticket to fly out to Omaha next month. Still need to figure out which day is best for my friends to pick me up from the airport.
