Overview of
the CMT concept Cellular
Mass Transit (CMT) would use a combination of bus and
minibus to provide better service. The service
area would be divided into 20 cells of 12 square miles
each. Each cell
would have a hub fed by 8 short feeder routes. These 20
hubs would be connected by 33 express routes. Most of
these express routes would run at least part of the way
on the 35 miles of managed express lanes that Austin
will have within the near future. More people
would be able to get from home to work by transit. |

would have its own map showing the six to eight routes
useful for getting to 19 other hubs. Maps for 11 hubs
are shown. The last map shows how 11 express routes
share one stretch of the MOPAC express lane. |
