    I have mixed feelings about METRORail. I've been riding the rail for years to and from the Medical…read moreCenter and NRG for Rodeo Houston and events. The fare is only $1.25 each way and it certainly beats having to pay for parking in these congested areas, however the ride isn't always pleasant. Homeless people continue to use the train, spread out on the benches and hang out to take advantage of the air conditioned cars among the hot Houston summers. Over the past year or so I have noticed that there are more fare inspectors, outfitted in neon yellow shirts, however these hasn't proven to be effective in reducing the homeless presence. Over the years I have seen people smoking on the training, sleeping, and even masturbating....yikes.

    This actually deserves 0 stars, however that is not an option. As residents' of Houston who rely on…read moreMetro for transportation, we are concerned about the safety of our daily commutes on the MetroRail. We have to UNFORTUNATELY transfer from the Metro Park-n-Rides to the MetroRail to get into the Medical Center which has become dangerous and increasingly unsafe. The majority about 90% have to use the MetroRail en route to the Medical Center. This means that a large portion of Houston's Workforce is at risk every day due to inadequate transportation options. We want Metro to have more Park-n-Rides go directly into the Medical Center without having to transfer to the MetroRail, just like the Woodlands, Conroe, and Katy does. This will ensure safer travels for commuters. MetroRail also DOES NOT take action addressing safety ANY CONCERNS from it's PAYING passengers! Several people including myself have addressed NUMEROUS times incidents such as harassment, verbal assult, physicial assult, fighting, theft, stalking, threats of violence, transients sleeping on trains, panhandling, etc without any protection or care or concern from Metro Police. Passenger's complain to the drivers of the train and they ignore us, they really don't care. The paying customers are the ones that constantly get harrassed going to and form work, it has become a nightmare. Metro harass paying customers while transients ride free all day long and keep constant madness! The MetroRail is dirty, nasty, and always has foul orders of urine and feces smell. On any given day you will see transients eating, sleeping, drinking, or smoking weed on the train, and do you think they get put off?? NO! Everyone turns a blind eye! Wheeler Ave, Downtown, Main Station are the absolute worst!!

It can take a bit if your someone getting a discounted fair (I had to transfer balances and a discount from the old Q card to the new one and it took almost 30 minutes) I highly suggest if you need a new Q card, to get it before the old ones phase out and your stuck waiting in line for hours on end.

    This review is more for the Metro Lift service and the main building. If you did not know but…read moreHouston Metro has a service call Metro Lift, it is for people who can not drive or walk to the closet bus spot safely. And this service is like ride share app, where they will pick you at the door and drop you off at the door. If you have a wheeler or in wheeler, no problems, you will get you in the vehicle safely and secure you safely. You have to qualify for the service and you have to go through an interview at the main building in downtown. I really appreciation the Metro Lift as it let me be independent on going to places in Houston safely and not relying on family or friends all the time. The downtown main building is also the Downtown Transit Center. You can also buy your Metro Lift paper ticket here and get a new ID here.

Especially coming out from downtown. The bus is the same as anywhere else in the world. Its ok. Nothing too special. Just the normal bus. I like how it tells you the name of each stop. So you won't get lost.

The buses are torn up, passengers are rude and there is always a fowl stench emitting from someone. I've been passed by drivers waiting at a stop, harassed by drunks and even had to change busses once because somebody puked all over the place. The sound inside this is noise pollution. There is a loud blaring speaker belting out a constant loop of "82 Westheimer, Please have your Q card as you enter the bus. Thank you for riding Metro" Then it goes in Spanish and repeats again. I know I'm on the fucking 82, you don't have to repeat it 30 million times. Between that, the rattling, windows and the loud mouth thugs sitting in back, the noise is unbearable. The schedules are always fucked up and sometimes you'll wait 30 minutes for a supposed 10 min interval bus followed by 3 or 4 busses minutes apart. For the most part this bus gets you were you need to go but if time allows take the 25 instead.

    The Wave is a great service and if you're looking for a good time, call them instead of Uber…read more I started taking The Wave after I was introduced to it by a friend who went out multiple times a week and he had the membership so it was a great value. For $15 per person, you get an "All-Access" wristband which gives you unlimited rides all night. This is cheaper than a cab and if you plan on going to multiple places, cheaper than Uber. The Wave allows you to bring alcohol on-board so you can pre-game a little bit before you arrive at your destination. This is great if you have a large group of people because it really gets the party going. Riding this around closing time is a treat even if it takes a long time to get home, depending on the number of pick-ups/ drop offs the driver has to make. Drunk people dancing on stripper poles tends to be the highlight! The Wave can be reserved and has a small bar to store booze if you choose this option. I love The Wave!

They picked us back up very near the venue and both rides we were riding with one other couple. Although this distance was not far, the total was $20 and parking for the event closer to minute maid was $60-$80. We had pit passes for the show and were standing most of the time. I was not feeling like walking and the wave couldn't have been a better solution. I secured our reservation on the phone and the vans were nice, clean, and comfortable.
