Most people who use mass transit in Houston use the bus system. There are dozens of routes that criss-cross the city and while it might take a little longer than driving, it goes pretty much everywhere you need it to go. 1. Fares: Rides on local buses are $1.25, with free transfers up to three hours in either direction if you pay using one of the Q...
Houston’s light rail isn’t long — 22 miles of track barely scratch the surface in a city whose metro area spans nearly 9,500 square miles — but it still manages to carry over 600,000 passengers a day. It’s the city’s second most popular public transit option, and it can often be the fastest way to get where you’re going downtown. 1. Routes: The MET...
There are a lot of ways to pay for METRO buses and trains — most of which can be purchased online or at a local grocery store. 1.

Houston’s bike-share system, BCycle, has over 75 stationsthroughout central Houston, most of which are concentrated downtown, the med center and the Museum District. You can either pay as you go (it’s $3 for every 30 minutes), or sign up for monthly or annual memberships that give you unlimited hour-long rides for $13 or $79 respectively.
When you can’t hop on a bus or board a train, hailing a ride works in a pinch. Taxis and ride-sharing apps like Uber and Lyft operate all over Houston, including the suburbs and are common methods to get to and from the city’s two major airports.
If you have a tight schedule while in Houston and you don’t mind heavy traffic, having your own car is probably the right call. While parking can be a pain in certain areas (like downtown and Montrose), most of the city is built for drivers. Renting a car can be especially useful for visitors interested in going outside the city to attractions like...
Houston’s metro has more than seven million peopleliving in an area larger than the state of New Jersey.
