That is what I said eliminate HOV and concert to rail plus finish university and uptown lines.

Drivers go to places of employment. If rail went to galleria, downtown, greenway plaza, medical center on our current rail system, hook that with a commuter rail and I'm confident that would help reduce congestion.

I think ridership of a train in HOV lanes would be high because the people on HOV now would take it and also and single drivers the biggest group that causes congestion.

You can only build up so much also

No. My relatives live in jersey village so I remember that route fondly as we went a lot when I was younger

I agree these coupons aren't that great. However sometimes there are some good things a friend of mine got a free ticket to renaissance festival on it

You have to go on 610 for a short time before you hit 10, then you take 10 east to downtown, then 45 to 288

Not sure I agree. I've flown for free to india, LA, San Francisco 3 times, Las Vegas twice, chicago, New York three times, Vancouver three times, Istanbul, charleston, Salt Lake City, Denver, and cancun for free on miles in the last three years. And Calgary this weekend.

I don't know sometimes frequent flier points save you thousands.

For a good while now, Harris County Judge Ed Emmett has been dropping hints about a new proposal to renovate the Astrodome. He’s set to reveal a few details about it tomorrow afternoon, after he holds a press conference set up in a “special little section” of the Astrodome made safe for media attendees. “Emmett has been in discussions with a series of elected officials, stakeholders and interested parties in recent weeks, laying out the general concept for an innovative reuse of the world’s first domed stadium,” a press release from the judge’s office declares. “All [the judge's spokesperson] could tell me is that it’s ‘public use,’ tweets the Chronicle‘s Kiah Collier.

Or 290 to 610 to 10 east to 288

The answer is that officials aren't interested in including rail, it doesn't fit their best interests ($$$) Among the choices officials are imposing higher toll prices during peak times, redesigning key street connections with the freeway to eliminate delays at entrance and exit ramps, limiting when some entrance and exit ramps are open to better control traffic, and moving more quickly to re-open lanes after traffic accidents.

Try on a weekend, weekday rush hour seems to get longer and longer, and stay far away from 290.

Everything costs more in california

Not sure if this is where to put this http://ricedesignalliance.org/event/aia-houston-4th-annual-arch-film-festival/

Good point but people figure most aren't at home anyway

This

This is similar to über vs. taxi and food trucks vs. restaurants. The old guard doesn't want to give in. But it just makes our city look silly. And as much as IT wants to think it's wishful thinking I personally have been to cities all over the world with excellent rail transit. It makes life so much easier. Density is coming anyway. But makes the density easier to deal with.

Refusing to even engineer the system in such a way that rail could be built one way is absurd

In all seriousness you get points for telecommuting also

I wish still a lot of places I want to see like Eastern Europe and more of South America.

I'm getting $2 a day. But I see your point. It is being run by HGAC so they are probably looking to see how people commute.
