But, there's something still to be said about reaching for the stars, even if you are a station. Situated next to the huge Smith Lands parking lot (primarily for medical center visitors but used during the Rodeo, too), it faces a large apartment complex, which makes for convenient hops for those dwellers who also work in the medical center. The Texas Medical Center stops are either 2 or 3 stops on the northbound line from here. First one is TMC Dryden and second one is the Memorial Hermann Hospital/Zoo stop. If you're having a medical emergency, you could buy your $1.25 ticket, hop on, and stumble into the emergency room. Actually, for liability purposes, scratch that. Call 911 instead. Pro tip: If you have to pee while riding the rail, you can hop off at this stop, enter the Smith Lands parking lot gate, and follow the blue awning path to the shuttle bus stop. There are buildings on either side of the shuttle stop and both have clean air-conditioned bathrooms, complete with sinks, soap, and paper towels. You won't find a gem of knowledge like this in any Houston visitor center brochure. You're welcome.

Has the opportunity to see some familiar faces and make light convo with some new ones (that's not an everyday thing for me). There's the occasional crazy, but that's no indictment on Metro; they render service to EVERYONE! Every interaction I've had with a metro staff person has been beyond professional and super satisfactory. I continue to be thoroughly surprised each time. The trains are clean 90% of the time. There's always some jerk who ignores the no drinking or eating rule and leaves an entire pizza box on the seat. Metro is good about cleaning things up and keeping everyone experience as pleasant as possible. I'll continue to use the light rail, and really recommend it for any commuter.

If you are attracted to these trains, you may be a Metrosexual…read more I found it pretty amazing to see where all the trains are kept. So many trains! This place is really cool and I think they should offer tours for it because a lot more people are interested in trains than you would think. Well me anyway. Maybe I'm just weird. Unfortunately stepping onto their property counts as trespassing and they're very eager to let you know that. Maybe because this is a low-income area. I wouldn't expect quite that many signs if this thing were in The Woodlands. But welcome to humanity. Anyway if they ever start giving tours I might raise them to four stars. If they give free tours they will get five!

(And I mean everywhere, like, how else am I gonna get to your Mom's bedroom ohhhh). I'm very happy to hear that they're building a line out to Montrose and the Galleria. Just in time for me to move out of the city unfortunately. This station is nice and clean, and easy to access for passengers and pedestrians. Having the train right in the middle of the road really disrupts the traffic though, so that's the reason why these stations don't usually get more than a 3 from me.
