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.

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.”

The man sits on a bright orange chair and holds a newspaper with both hands while he looks into the camera. He is a redhead with short hair parted in the middle and wears light brown, circular glasses and a gray sweater that says “THE DAILY TEXAN’ in burnt orange letters with Bevo the longhorn in the middle also colored burnt orange.

Another semester, another round of goodbyes 😭
Following tradition, our last flipbook of the semester showcases reflections from our departing staffers on their time at @thedailytexan.
Read their 30 columns below:
ALT A white square with a black border. At the top of the square reads “-30-.” Underneath, in smaller print, reads “A -30- column is a chance for departing permanent staff to say farewell and reflect on their time spent in The Daily Texan’s basement office. The term comes from the old typesetting mark (-30-) to denote the end of a line.”
