musicman Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 i wonder whether the killing on the metro bus today will appear on their blog? A man was shot to death today on a Metropolitan Transit Authority bus in west Houston after he apparently got into an argument with a man he may have touched or bumped while trying to get off the bus.The alleged gunman was in custody and a passenger was taken to a hospital complaining of chest pains after the incident, which occurred about 11:30 a.m. on the 82 Westheimer route on Westheimer between Wilcrest and Kirkwood, said Metro spokeswoman Rosio Torres.The victim appeared to be in his late 20s or early 30s, according to Houston Police Department Capt. Dwayne Ready. When HPD arrived, the paramedics were already on the bus and had the suspect's gun. The alleged shooter was "sitting in the back of the bus with his hands raised and was very compliant, '' he said. "He was then taken into custody without further incident.''story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 One of the latest blog entrys was interesting to me: http://blogs.ridemetro.org/blogs/write_on/...in-History.aspxMaybe these quotes from WIG (the company who won the bid) will help settle the nerves of small businesses, especially Richmonds.One factor that boosted its ranking: WGI said it would give early payments or loans to small and disadvantaged businesses to help get them established and up and running. "That is a very important part of the value-added proposal. And they were the only ones that made such an offer like that," said Sedlak.

lockmat Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 Newest blog title: Houston, City of the FutureSome interesting quotes:"No city can be a great city without the presence of a great university." Those were the words of David Leebron...I agree. And we need more artists/visionaries, which I think a great university will produce....Leebron, the seventh president of Rice University, pointed out examples of great cities with great universities, such as Paris, Munich, Rome, Shanghai.And Houston? It has Rice University.Of course it has a long way to go...but I think it would be wise to invest in UH as much as possible too.Rice launched its Passport Program - and gave free METRO passes to all its students. They can now hop on the Red Line and get free admission to 16 local museums or the zoo. They've got easy, free access to the Theatre District where they can attend operas and symphony concerts.Awesome idea I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmat Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 Doesn't seem like many people follow METROS blog, but it's got some interesting stuff; things I thought people here would love to discuss. Especially one of the latest blogs on the future of cruide oil and what they call "peak oil." And especially b/c oil/energy is such a huge part of our city's life.Here's the link to the one I'm talking about:http://blogs.ridemetro.org/blogs/write_on/...l-Runs-Out.aspxThis is just one quote that kind of got me excited about public transit:Whenever world oil production peaks, the price surges that result are going to shock our economy and way of life, even our food supply.Transit and accessibility are going to become more important than ever. People who have been unaware of public transit, or even its detractors, are going to come to depend on it. And yet, transit agencies will compete with everyone else for fuel.
