When fall arrives, the Austin and San Antonio commuter trams will no longer be available at Texas State. Alexa Perez has the story.

This is the last semester you'll see the blinking "Austin" and "San Antonio" signs on the Bobcat Trams. 
At the request of the university, an assessment was conducted in November regarding the effectiveness of the Texas State transit service. Included in the study was the Bobcat Tram Inter-urban Service, also known as the B-T-I, which connects San Marcos to Austin and San Antonio.
The study's findings have prompted university officials to cancel the B-T-I service. The service is apparently costing too much to provide.
SOUNDBITE
University officials say students who relied on the service will have to find other ways to get to campus. 
SOUNDBITE
Also discovered in the review is that many students believe the tram system has been unreliable.
STAND-IN: Without the Interurban Tram Services, more students will be forced to fill the commuter lots. 
The last day for B-T-I services to Austin and San Antonio is August 23rd, 2-thousand-13.
