Study Explores Regional Bus Line to Ease I-35 Traffic Between San Marcos and San Antonio
A study is exploring the possibility of a regional bus line connecting San Marcos and San Antonio as a potential solution to alleviate traffic congestion on Interstate 35.
San Antonio, TX, July 31, 2026 —
A new study is examining the feasibility of establishing a regional bus line to connect San Marcos and San Antonio. The initiative aims to address the persistent traffic congestion issues plaguing Interstate 35, a major transportation artery in Central Texas.
The proposed bus service would offer an alternative mode of transportation for commuters and travelers between the two cities. Proponents suggest that such a service could reduce the number of single-occupancy vehicles on I-35, thereby easing bottlenecks and improving travel times for all users of the highway.
Details regarding the specific scope of the study, including the entities conducting it and the projected timeline for its completion, were not immediately available. Further information is expected as the research progresses.
Interstate 35 has long been a point of concern for transportation officials and residents due to its high volume of traffic, which frequently leads to significant delays and congestion. The potential implementation of a regional bus line is being considered as one of several strategies to mitigate these ongoing challenges.
The study will likely evaluate various aspects of operating a regional transit service, including potential routes, service frequency, ridership projections, and operational costs. The findings will inform decisions about whether to pursue the development of such a bus line.
