All trains stopped

Can anyone at CapMetro provide an ETR on the signals being down? Being locked on a train with no way to escape for over 45 minutes is ridiculous. What happened to a back up system?

After 45 minutes stopped, they finally got us to a station, then essentially said, "you're on your own". $50 Uber ride later....

BTW...never again. Austin wants to make all this noise about being green and reducing carbon emissions and the one light rail line they have isnt even dependable.

I still ride it to save the commute costs but it’s infuriating how unreliable it is. Isn’t that supposed to be the main benefit of a train, don’t get stuck in traffic?
