I just skimmed over it due to It's size but my first inpression is they treat Austin no different than Waco or Temple. That we are just a pass through stop and the line/lines would only directly serve the airport and completely bypass the heart of Austin though they make sure to have the line go into the hearts of DFW and San Antonio with multiple stops. Austin isn't mentioned a whole lot either with most of the focus for the central corridor either for DFW or SA.

We are no more than an afterthought.
