Rideshares.
Given the cost of gas and other means of transportation, rideshares allow the opportunity to save costs on long-distance travel. Several services are linked below, evaluate each on its own merits. (NOTE: Several allow you to specify what conditions you'd like, for instance all women in the car, etc.)

The Austin Public Library has 22 branches, all of which offer wireless. If you just need a place to read and write for a bit without worrying about cost, the library is a relaxed, comfortable social space.

Locations and branch hours

For a library card, be sure and bring some proof of residence (mail, lease, drivers' license, etc.) After being a public library member in good standing, you can request a card that will allow you to check out books from the UT library directly (along with other libraries throughout Texas). This allows you to wave the $40 fee for courtesy patrons at the UT library and gives you access to their vast collection.
