DaTrain Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 METRO is only 26 years old as of this year. And METRORail came to town on the 25th birthday.Now a little piece of history request. Since Texas Legislature passed a proposal to create major transit agencies throughout the state in 1973, but evil politics caused METRO to not be created till 1979.Before METRO, I was told there was a previous private transit agency called HouTran. If anyone at this forum was around in the 70s, can you tell me what HouTran was like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I remember (vaguely) that the buses were in very poor condition and the air conditioning rarely worked and it was alot more lively (read: out of control) crowd at the time. as far as scheduling goes, I don't have a clue, I was much too young to remember that part of it. But note this is/was from a child's perspective. Ricco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
