I am always envious of other cities mass transient when I travel. It just makes sense for large metropolitan areas to be able to move their population around. For some reason, here in Texas , we still have a love affair with our private automobiles. It's like once they got us out of our saddles and into something with four wheels and a steering column.....we just don't want to give it up to....join a posse! I took this photo to show you that we are trying.....I know Dallas is ahead of us at this point (shhh) but there are plans in the works to add four more lines to the existing one, which stretches from the downtown corridor, past the medical center, to the sports complex, Reliant Center. I will call it successful when you can board a light rail train at either airport and be whisked into the center city. Giddy up Houston!
This one looks very modern. They do their best to get the people in a train, that is great.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised that more metropolitan areas don't have light rail. We're just now getting ours in St. Paul, MN. The one in your photo looks very modern and sleek.

ReplyDeleteJaney, this is a good looking train car. Fort Worth is "on track" to put in our first one soon, so I am glad Houston didn't fall behind us. I had to laugh at the destination on the front of this. I know it means University of Houston, but since I know it is the only route I at first thought it was saying "where are we going?" UH, downtown (you idiot). Polly
