- Houston METRO launches its first bus rapid transit (BRT) in Houston, Texas. This southbound BRT Silver Line (route 433 and bus model: New Flyer Xcelsior XD60) goes through Uptown Houston (Galleria Houston, financial sector, and upscale shopping/restaurants center), Memorial Park (one of Houston’s largest parks), and terminates at Westpark/Lower Uptown Transit Center (a brand-new major bus stop).
In the future, METRO is going to expand this southbound Silver Line to Bellaire Transit Center.

One of the best designed bus rapid transit systems in the country. if only the area around it would lower parking minimums to allow for more pedestrian friendly redevelopment
haha right when it leaves Uptown Park Bust Station, that is me riding my bike! :) awesome! and great video...thanks for sharing!
It's amazing: the quality of editing and camera stability and music choice is all really high quality. Quite rare in this genre lol!
Hi HOUE! You can be looking forward to seeing Commuter bus videos soon. The ones I did so far were just links to Metrorail, they weren’t really proper and complete commutes. Anyhow, excellent work on both your recent videos on the Silver Line!
Hi Gabriel! Thank you! I also enjoy watching your videos in the Miami area. Sometimes, I travel to Miami every year and your videos is resourceful (I try my best not to look like a tourist when I'm over there...lol). I'm looking forward to see more Miami. Keep up the awesome work!
This is one of the *BEST* BRT systems I've ever seen. This should be the model in the U.S.
If Houston had Subway or Sky train will be better.
I heard Austin planning a downtown Subway. I thought Houston and Dallas should have that
Dallas is planning on a subway! Houston doesnt need it!
Houston floods too much for a subway
@@ThisisTechie so true
A monorail or sky train would be best
justin alexander It would be but until even the federal government actually acknowledges that public transit is important than good luck getting serious funding for that.
And I just want to inform you that can be sure to do the 14 Hiram Clarke route at TMC Transit Center going to Hiram Clarke Transit Center, And then do the 49 Chimney Rock/South Post Oak route at Northwest Transit Center going to Ridgemont, It also goes to Bellaire Transit Center
Great video editing!
Other transit centers and park and rides could use some upgrades like the Northwest TC.
What's with those massive metal plates around all of the traffic lights and crosswalk signs on Post Oak?
Those are street signs.
@@HOUExplorer I mean the giant oval-shaped metal plates that surround the traffic lights. The 3 traffic light lenses are in the middle, but instead of a rectangular backplate, there’s a huge oval. It’s just a bit excessive IMO. 😝
I will be able to flim these busses Tuesday!
Awesome! Can't wait to see!
@@HOUExplorer mext Tuesday. Oof
why must longer buses ply an unpopular route?
12:13 Security, I'm trusting you (not you VIA)
Can you show us the pocket schedules and do a bus tour
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mwahahaha tata tfgdhfuh lo jwdwsq
