This is what Austin's light-rail trains could look like.
Those are some of the details unveiled by Project Connect planners as they piece together their aspirations for a fleet of vehicles that would run along light-rail lines approved by Austin voters in 2020. The routes include more than four miles of subway tunnel in downtown and South Austin.The trains could have an exterior LED strip near the roof to indicate which route the train is running on.
Passengers won't be able to board Austin's light-rail lines until 2029 at the earliest. Construction is slated to begin in late 2024 or early 2025.

But Kubicek said they should still get up to about 55 miles per hour.
