nativehoustonion Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Thanks I like your imput. I got confused reading the Downtown Houston Development map. It shows Capitol westbound and Rusk eastbound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Thanks for the videos. I'm a little confused the East Line Downtown goes westbound on Capitol and Purple Line goes eastbound on Rusk? So from Downtown if you want to take the East Line you take the Purple Line and transfer at the BBVA Stadium? The bad thing is cars will share the track that is not good! They'll both use the same track downtown, I imagine it will be noted at the station whether it's purple or green train that is coming to the station. kind of like when a bus stop shares with other buses. the signage says the bus numbers that will stop there, and the bus number is prominent on the bus. In places where they have sophisticated systems announcing the rail, they will have LED boards that show the next N number of trains to arrive at that station/stop, which line they belong to, and approximately how long before they arrive. As soon as a train comes/goes that one bumps off the list and the list gets updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Vik Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I think the rail lane will be separated not with a barrier but with white like how much of the red line is now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollusk Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 It looks like it will be a white stripe downtown, not even armadillos like in other places - which makes sense, what with turning traffic, parking garage entrances/exits, etc. Other cities manage it without massive carnage; shoot, once upon a time, so did we...

But people drive nutty in Houston these days. Like they own the road and everyone else is in their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 But people drive nutty in Houston these days. Like they own the road and everyone else is in their way. It's not a 'these days' kind of thing, people have been driving like they own the roads in Houston since the city was founded over 200 years ago. To be fair though, I mean, technically we all own the road, so why not drive like you own it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollusk Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Houstonians have most likely been "out there" drivers for as long as there have been cars. Before we had various Merges of Death, we had things like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricco67 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Sorry about that, didn't realize my error until it was too late. It's currently processing, so it should be available in the next hour or so. If the mods can delete my previous post, I'd appreciate it. http://youtu.be/TpUxCXUD5Ls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Okay, actually had the time to make sure the vid was processed.
