Hopping on a Capital Metro bus or train should soon be as easy as tapping a credit or debit card. By March, CapMetro will ditch its unreliable QR code-based fare system and switch to tap-to-pay technology. kut.org/transportation/2025-…

News Editor @_masonrouser: “Before my time at the Texan, I had no inkling of what I wanted my life to look like post-graduation. I didn’t even know I wanted to do journalism considering my first pitch meeting was my first time setting foot in a newsroom. Now, I see my future taking form all thanks to what I’ve learned and the confidence I’ve built here.” thedailytexan.com/2024/08/13…
