Travis County Precinct 2 and Williamson County Precincts 1 and 2 are also part of the Capital Metro service area.

Vans that operate outside of these cities are also now available. The fare for these vans is based upon the number of miles outside of the Capital Metro service area (including the $25 monthly base fare).
