Parrothead Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I read somewhere that Metro is planning to build a Grand Parkway Transit Center, as well as expanding the 298 Park-n-Ride there (that's the Med Center Express). The problem is, I cannot find where I read it, and I don't remember all of the details, i.e. timeline for construction, etc--and whether or not the Kingsland Park-n-Ride center would be torn down. I did try ridemetro.org, but got extremely frustrated. Has anyone heard any news regarding this subject? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trae Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 The Kingsland Park and Ride across from Kelsey-Seybold and Taylor High is always packed. There probable should be one out by Grand Parkway. There is a lot of land for it, and it would help the Cinco Ranchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trae Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 What?? Explain why the Kingsland Park and Ride is alsways packed. Also, those parking lots on Mason, Fry, and Barker Cypress that serve has vanpools.Cinco Ranch should make a Cinco Ranch Express...like the Woodlands Express...

What I was thinking of, and sort of feeding the alligators on, is the people(in general) that live in Cinco Ranch and Seven Meadows and Grand Lakes, Kelliwood, Lakes of Whatever, do not in my experiance ride metro buses on a daily basis. I know this is a big generalization but, I call em like I see em, there are plenty of neighborhoods in the Katy area that do support these methods as you pointed out.

Parrothead Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 It is a big generalization. Metro has actually added more 221 Kingsland routes because of increased ridership over the past year. But hey, I'm sure NONE of them are from Cinco Ranch et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trae Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 That is also why the Kelysey-Sebold across the street is packed in the parking lot, but there are like two people inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
