Riding Houston METRO Bus 89, Northwest Transit Center Dacoma

[@misael.]

That mini-bus actually looks cool!

[@NicholasNormand]

had a great time in Houston and I had an enjoyable 5 hour commute with Amtrak to Lafayette definitely will travel with Amtrak again

[@HOUExplorer]

Nice! Next time, try the Northeast Corridor (including Amtrak Acela) between DC to NYC. Amtrak high speed rail is frequent on that area. And the trains are electrical too.

[@NicholasNormand]

@@HOUExplorer well the only thing though is to get there from louisiana which means catch the sunset limited to new orleans and then the crescent to new york then i'll be able to catch the NEC or acela express that would take 47 hrs to get to new york plus it will be $1091 for a roomette or $248 in coach

[@chriswalker1993]

Ooh a low floor minibus. From an ADA perspective these are better than a traditional cutaway.

[@douglasdeleon5256]

hey my man nice to see you keep it up

[@MythicalTransit]

Pretty short ride, I gotta check this out soon. Remember us talking about this route

[@HOUExplorer]

Yup

[@houstonvlogger_0351]

😊ahh the good ol mini bus

[@HOUExplorer]

I’m starting to like this mini bus! Never underestimate the speediness of this tiny bus :)

[@houstonvlogger_0351]

@@HOUExplorer and it’s made from Dodge that’s cool

[@metro_via_transit]

I’ve actually filmed the 89 on an Orion on a Sunday believe it or not

[@HOUExplorer]

Really? An Orion bus that was used for a small ridership. And too big to go through some narrow streets…wow.

[@trinorxc7007]

I’ve seen before on the 64 Orion buses it’s rare though

[@TheBusFoamer]

89 on a nabi is really common I have never seen it on a small bus ever

[@connormorrison2091]

Man I tell you what, Can you do the 30 Clinton Ella ride to Downtown Houston from Acres Homes Transit Center

[@TheBusFoamer]

So um I’m making a bus game based of metro could I use the bus announcements please? (I’m trying to make most northwest routes)

[@HOUExplorer]

Sure! Go ahead.

[@idkwhatnametoput2127]

👍👍

[@transitfan2000]

Is this rare in Houston

[@HOUExplorer]

It was, but it is becoming more common (little-by-little). Right now, Houston METRO is planning to expand more short/circular bus routes.

[@connormorrison2091]

This is the 89 Dacoma to Hempstead Hwy

[@aibotrules2722]

It goes there? Geez

[@TheBusFoamer]

I rode 89 on a nabi how strange.

[@HOUExplorer]

That is strange...
