Houston is the largest city I've tackled with over 6 million people in the metropolitan region, which really means it's the largest in the country without a major metro system. This is changing however, with its first light rail line in 2013, and two smaller routes opening earlier this year. The extensive existing train tracks also made for an impressive dreamed-of system, with five lines and over 100 stations.
Houston's Amtrak station is served by the yellow and cyan lines, and all lines have transfers to the light rail system at at least either University Downtown or Eado Transfer, as indicated by the
MetroRail icons [I added an additional light rail station at Fulton transfer]. This time, I did build in shuttle buses to connect Houston's two airports to nearby rail lines.
Lines
- Blue: 57.7 miles, 22 stations
- Cyan: 66.3 miles, 26 stations
- Yellow: 46 miles, 18 stations
- Lavender: 82.2 miles, 28 stations
- Green: 73.3 miles, 23 stations
