Has anyone heard news of an IAH to SGN (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) route?

I'll believe this project will get built when I see it get built.  I love the idea and want the government to allow it to be built but I'm skeptical it ever will.

It's smart to have parking right above the transit center.  Large open parking lots are wastes of space and potentially require so much walking from the edges to the bus or train platform that it dissuades people from using transit.

How similar is the Gold Line BRT route to the defunct University Line rail line?

Posters on another thread said that Tom Delay and John Culberson were primarily responsible for the cancellation of the University Line for MetroRail.  Now that both are out of office, will  MetroRail include it in their construction plans?

Good afternoon, Houstonians!  I am a new member of this forum.  It's an exciting time to be a resident of Houston!

Why doesn't this building have piles buried into the ground?  Houston's geology is rather soft and porous, right?  It seems that without piles a big, heavy building will sink into the soil over the decades that it will be used.
