Express (Non-Park & Ride)

Express routes cover long distances quickly, usually via limited-access highways, and typically pick up and drop off passengers at fewer stops than local buses. Express routes may partially operate as local service with several sequential stops, and partially as “closed-door” services along highways with no stops along the way except at subsequent Park and Ride lots in the same corridor. Service is typically anchored on one end at Park and Ride lots or transit centers and major employment centers at the other end. Express routes are tailored services and may have varying travel patterns or number of trips by time of day and day of week. Base fare for these routes are $1.25.

METRORapid

METRORapid Bus Rapid Transit service combines the comfort and speed of light rail transit service with the flexibility of bus service to deliver frequent, fast, and convenient transit service. Service is designed to emulate METRORail, providing smooth and comfortable, longer-distance, station-to-station connections with faster travel times than local bus.

METRORapid service features: Modern vehicle design offering 100% accessibility, wider doorways, and level boarding; Stations and platforms designed to look and function like rail stations; Dedicated, transit-only bus lanes to bypass traffic congestion; and Transit priority treatments at intersections to minimize delays.

As of 16 June 2024, service on the Silver Line was reduced to 20 minute headways all day with the specially designed articulated buses replaced with 30-foot low floor buses.

Park & Ride (Commuter) Services

Park & Ride routes serve long-distance commuters. These routes travel between METRO’s Park & Ride lots around suburban Houston (outside of the Interstate 610 Loop) and centralized major employment centers with few or limited passenger pickup/drop off locations along the way. This service type is characterized by high frequencies in the weekday peak periods and peak direction, often utilizing HOV lanes where available, with some reverse-peak trips and off-peak service as corridor demand warrants. Zoned fares between $2.00 and $8.00 each way depending on distance travelled.

curb2curb

METRO curb2curb is a zone-based, on-demand shared-demand transportation service that operates primarily without a defined route but has connectivity to METRO’s local bus network, allowing for more flexibility to serve riders across the zone. Prior to January 2022, curb2curb was known as Community Connector service.

Passengers can either board the vehicle at scheduled pickup locations or schedule a pickup at their location. The shared-demand transportation service drops off passengers at their destinations within the service zone or at a nearby METRO facility where transfers are available to/from fixed-route bus services.

Service zones are based on area ridership demand, available vehicles, and available connection points into the METRO network, such as at fixed-route services, Park & Ride lots and transit centers.

All curb2curb routes and vehicles are assigned to Hiram Clarke Garage, however, seasonal school related trips on 344 Acres Homes curb2curb operate out of Northwest Garage using standard buses. As of 12 January 2025, all services operate from 5:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m.
