Those of you making August plans for NI Week may be interested to know that the light rail commuter line actually opened this week in Austin, and one of the train stops is next to the Convention Center where NI Week is held. That may open up possibilities for visiting sections of Austin that you haven't explored in previous years without renting a car. Unfortunately, the line doesn't run out to the airport, so you'll still need a shuttle to get downtown in the first place.

I immediatly had a 'a ha erlibness' and recognized the train as a Stadler train our company commissioned for the Netherlands. It's a nice smooth ride!
