Family on Platform

METRO is ready to welcome a sea of orange and blue as Houston Astros fans head downtown for the World Series champs' home opener on Monday, April 2. One of the most economical and hassle-free trips to Minute Maid Park is on METRO. Several local bus routes and rail stops are just a short walk from the ball park. Riding METRO means fans can avoid the frustration of traffic congestion and hunting for parking spaces.
