When was the last time you rode the METRO? Hop on board! If you need to get a Metro Fare Card…read morethis is one of the main locations to do so. The service is quick, easy and the location is very secure. The only issue you might have is finding a parking spot nearby. I know Houston is not very public transportation friendly but every little bit helps with the traffic congestion. The best part I have found so far is the ability to travel with my mountain bike to the parks downtown and surrounding areas.

Located at the North End of downtown, one can catch the North/South Red line of the Houston Light…read moreRail system at this stop. It is very close to the large Bus Transit center, and was our way to connect from the bus that took us from IAH airport to the Red Line, which took us to Rice University. The cost is minimal ($1.25 for unlimited rides for 3 hours), and you can buy tickets right on your smart phone. On a Saturday afternoon, the red line trains were running every 15 minutes or so. Also something to notice: there are different platforms for trains going south vs trains going north, so need to pay attention to be on the right platform (they are not connected). In our case, we needed to go South so the southern most platform was the right one to be on.

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.

Being one of the cleanest rail stations is very much like being the prettiest troll at a troll…read morepageant. 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.

Located very close to several of Houston's museums, therefore called the Museum District Station,…read moreit is a surface level station. It is a split station with separate platforms where the doors will open on the right. The stations are split, the only ones on opposite one-way parallel streets. Near the intersection with Binz Street, one is on Fannin Street for Southbound and the other on San Jacinto Street for Northbound. The station is on the Red Line between Hermann Park/Rice University (toward Fannin South) and Wheeler (toward Northline). It has the usual minimal cover from rain, audible and visual announcements of the next train, and automated ticket kiosks for purchasing a pass.

They always smell off (like the faint smell of a bad toilet), but the seats were fairly clean. The main downside was the pickup location. It was hard to find, even with google maps. I ended up at the wrong bus stop at first. The stop itself was dirty and smelt worse than the bus. You get what you paid for!

If you find this Transit Center to be sexual, maybe you're metro sexual…read more Like most Houston Transit Centers, it's really just a large bus stop, and a little secluded too. The Northline Mall used to be a big deal in Houston, when the city was a lot smaller, but now that it has expanded massively, it's one of those places that's dying and it's going to end up being converted into something completely different. You can still come here and get buses to anywhere, which is the good part.

I tried to buy it online but I…read morewas having an extremely hard time so I went in person and I had to wait like 30 minutes because the person was on lunch not a big deal. I bought my ticket and left and came back on my appointment date and everything was fine. The reason why they don't get five stars is because of the location there was a bunch of homeless dirty creepy people around the bus station. Four stars because it was somewhat easy to buy the ticket it was somewhat cheap and effective. Lacking a star because of the location and cleanliness. Also just an FYI when I was going from Dallas to Houston on Greyhound bus the bus left 15 minutes early and I had to wait an hour for the next bus so just make sure you're extremely early to your appointment I would say 30 minutes, bus drivers are leaving early because they can no one is in forcing what time they leave. I know this reviews all over the place but just wanted to put it all out there. Lol.
