10-Day Countdown to New Bus Network One Year Anniversary

More Trips, More Buses, More Reliability for METRO Riders

#5

Five months after welcoming feedback from customers on how to fine-tune the more frequent service, METRO rolled out a series of sustainable enhancements to the New Bus Network to make it even better.

METRO added more trips, bigger buses, and adjusted routes to improve service reliability and ease overcrowding. Enhancements included more early morning and late night runs and additional weekend service.

METRO understands that optimizing the New Bus Network's performance is an ongoing process. The launch of the New Bus Network was the beginning of a five-year plan to improve the way the region moves.

METRO's board and service planners continue to listen to rider input. The Manchester community in Southeast Houston worked with METRO's planners and designed a new pilot route to service their community.
