GETTING AROUND SXSW EVENTS Austin blocks are just a one-minute walk in the downtown area. Grab a pedicab, jump on the bus, or hail a rideshare if you need to give your feet a break. SXSW FESTIVAL SHUTTLES This free one-route circulating shuttle system runs a route with stations at the Austin Convention Center on Trinity Street and within walking distance of most SXSW venues. Shuttles run from 9am–3am daily, with peak service hours between 9am and 7pm. When the event begins, you can track festival shuttles in real time on the SXSW Go mobile app and at shuttles.sxsw.com.
