 METRO is committed to enhancing the rider experience. Effective Sunday, January 26, 2025, various routes and services will undergo changes designed to improve mobility, adapt to changing traffic conditions, and meet the evolving needs of the Houston region.
The service adjustments are part of a broader effort to address regional mobility challenges. In the coming months, METRO will roll out dozens of new buses to replace aging vehicles and reduce service interruptions. With ridership on the rise, the new and adjusted routes and schedules will provide more frequency and options for customers.
"METRO's ability to provide reliable, on-time service is a key driver of the region's overall mobility success," said Interim President & CEO Tom Jasien. "By regularly adjusting our schedules, modernizing our fleet, and expanding innovative services like curb2curb and the Community Connector, we're ensuring riders have safe, clean, reliable, and efficient transit options that meet their needs now and in the future."
