## Austin to Fredericksburg: Rideshare vs. Bus, Train, or Driving

A Hitch ride from Austin to Fredericksburg takes about 1 hr 30 min, from any of 24 stops/stations in Austin or your door. Greyhound economy buses take about 10 hr 40 min with a change in San Antonio (about once a day). No train runs between them. Driving yourself, or taking an Uber or Lyft door to door, takes about 1 hr 30 min; a rideshare at the average US UberX rate of $1.50 a mile comes to about $119.

| | Departures | Stops/stations | Travel time | Seating | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hitch | Daily | 24 stops/stations or door, in Austin | 1 hr 30 min, stop/station or door | Window seat or the whole car | Varies, by date and ride type |
| Traditional rideshare (Uber, Lyft) | On demand | Your door | 1 hr 30 min, door to door | Window seat, just your group | About $119, at $1.50 per mile |
| Economy bus (Greyhound) | 1 a day | 1 stop/station, Austin Eastside Bus Plaza | 10 hr 40 min, between stops/stations, 1 change in San Antonio | Shoulder to shoulder, rows of 2 + 2 | Varies, by date |
| Train | No train service | | | | |
| Driving | Anytime | Your door | 1 hr 30 min, without stops | Your own car | $11 in gas, 79 mi at 25 mpg |

**Door to door.** Door to door for a typical Austin resident, counting a rideshare to and from the stop at $1.50 a mile and 30 mph (Hitch's time is the drive itself, since a Hitch driver can pick up at the door): Hitch about 1 hr 30 min and the economy bus about 11 hr 20 min.

| Door to door, typical Austin resident | True time | True cost | Ride to the stop | Ride from the stop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hitch | 1 hr 30 min | Ticket + $18 | 15 min, $10 by rideshare | 10 min, $8 by rideshare |
| Traditional rideshare (Uber, Lyft) | 1 hr 30 min | About $119 | None | None |
| Economy bus (Greyhound) | 11 hr 20 min | Ticket + $29 | 25 min, $18 by rideshare | 15 min, $10 by rideshare |
| Driving | 1 hr 30 min | $11 in gas | None | None |

**Seating.** On a Hitch shared ride the middle back seat is never sold, so every rider gets a window seat and no one sits shoulder to shoulder. Intercity buses and trains seat riders in rows of two, side by side.

**How departures are counted.** Bus booking sites list one bus several times, once for each stop it calls at in the same city. Here each bus or train counts once, and one company's departures leaving within 30 minutes of each other count once, Hitch included. Companies are never added together: where several run a route, the figure is the busiest one's. A bus or train that a later one beats to the destination is not counted, since no rider would choose it.

Bus and train: typical scheduled time, week of Nov 16, 2026, from the published Amtrak, Brightline, FlixBus and Greyhound timetables; direct where one runs, otherwise with one change. Bus and train fares change by date. Door to door: the rideshare to and from the stop at $1.50 a mile and 30 mph; Hitch's time is the drive, as for Uber and driving, since a Hitch driver can pick up at the door; without addresses, the distance is the population-weighted average over every Census 2020 block group within 15 miles, straight line times 1.3. Traditional rideshare (Uber, Lyft): time is the drive time; cost is the distance at $1.50 a mile, the average US UberX rate (RideWise, March 2026), before demand pricing and fees. Gas: EIA average regular price for Texas ($3.63/gal), week of Oct 26, 2026. Hitch fares are updated about once a day.

## Rider reviews

- 5/5, Sarah E: "As a driver, the developers are pretty flexible with the time pickups, as are the riders. They are understanding about issues such as traffic or other detours that may impact the pickup times. I've always been able to get paid quickly once I've dropped the rider off. I'm still not entirely sure how pay is determined for trips as they vary every time, but it does increase in value if no one has claimed the ride. Overall, I'm pleased with working for Hitch.☺️"
- 5/5, Nagesh K: "Ideal for students to travel between cities. I am a grad student in Texas A&M, hitch is one of the best options to travel to Austin and Houston."
- 5/5, Akintola B: "This is the best transportation so far, for the fact that they can come to your house to pick you to any destination you are going is awesome, the price., the convenience they give you it’s awesome. I recommend this to everyone who loves to travel"
- 5/5, Muyudeen M: "Innovative fast and reliable service"
