Dallas travelers now have a new way to hop around to other Texas cities, and it comes with Wi-Fi, leather seats, and a guaranteed Buc-ee\u2019s stop: On Monday, May 25, a transportation startup called Shutto<\/strong><\/a> will launch luxury van service from Dallas to Austin, Houston Galleria, and The Woodlands, offering travelers a comfortable alternative to flying or driving.<\/p>\n

Bookings are now available online. Fares start at $87 per person to Austin and $97 per person to Houston, positioning Shutto in a similar lane to Dallas-based Vonlane<\/a>, which also serves major Texas cities.<\/p>\n

Unlike other regional transit options, Shutto builds Texas road-trip culture into every journey. Each route includes a pit stop at Buc-ee\u2019s pit stop so riders can stock up on Beaver Nuggets, brisket, and drinks.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mission is simple: make it easier for people to move between Texas cities without the stress of driving, parking, airports, or unpredictable rideshare costs,\u201d says Alberto Salcedo, Founder of Shutto, in a release. \u201cDallas is a key market for us, and connecting Dallas with Austin, Houston Galleria, and The Woodlands is a natural next step as we continue building the smartest way to travel between cities.”<\/p>\n

Shutto, which launched service in San Antonio<\/a>, Austin<\/a>, and Houston<\/a> last fall, enters the market at a time when highway congestion is a hotter topic than ever. With high-speed rail still years in the future, its model aims to provide fast, predictable service at commuter prices – for business, family visits, weekend trips, events, college travel, and airport-connected plans, they say.<\/p>\n

The startup touts an on-time departure guarantee and a relaxed ride. Only 12 passengers fit inside each Mercedes Sprinter van.
Beyond the scheduled routes, Shutto offers private, customizable trips anywhere in the country, a service the company expects will appeal to corporate retreat planners, wedding parties, and tourists wanting to make a day of crawling Hill Country wineries and breweries.<\/p>\n

In Dallas, the day-to-day service picks up at at Caf\u00e9 Brazil on University Boulevard, directly across from SMU and Mockingbird Station.<\/p>\n

In Austin, vans depart from the Pershing East Caf\u00e9 parking lot at 2501 E. Fifth St., while Houston riders board at Paparuchos in the Galleria District, with additional service to The Woodlands.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not just moving passengers from one city to another,\u201d Salcedo says. \u201cWe are building a better travel experience for Texas \u2014 one that is more human, more comfortable, and designed around how people actually move today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Per the release, here’s a breakdown of the new Dallas routes:<\/p>\n
