I doubt it because it's 80.5 miles between Austin and San Antonio. It'll be a longer train ride than a drive by auto over 1 hour and closer to 2 hours in evening rush hour. The Texas Rangers don't start games until 7:30 PM because of the heat and to give north Dallas fans time to get to the game. Therefore to get to the game in time for the first pitch, fans will have to leave Austin with the family no later than 5:30 PM. Driving time may shrink to closer to 1 hour after the game, but the games last over 3 hours today. Austin fans wouldn't be arriving to their homes until 1 AM or later.

As for the ASA commuter trains, do you really believe they will be running at 1 AM in the mornings?
