We paid to park at this parking lot and take the metro to NRG stadium for the World Cup, and it was beyond worth it to get in and out of the stadium quickly without being caught in the stadium traffic. I would also consider using it going forward if I want to park my car there and go to the museum district or the medical center, etc. Also, it was super clean, which was really nice.

(And I mean everywhere, like, how else am I gonna get to your Mom's bedroom ohhhh). I'm very happy to hear that they're building a line out to Montrose and the Galleria. Just in time for me to move out of the city unfortunately. This station is nice and clean, and easy to access for passengers and pedestrians. Having the train right in the middle of the road really disrupts the traffic though, so that's the reason why these stations don't usually get more than a 3 from me.

This place is really cool and I think they should offer tours for it because a lot more people are interested in trains than you would think. Well me anyway. Maybe I'm just weird. Unfortunately stepping onto their property counts as trespassing and they're very eager to let you know that. Maybe because this is a low-income area. I wouldn't expect quite that many signs if this thing were in The Woodlands. But welcome to humanity. Anyway if they ever start giving tours I might raise them to four stars. If they give free tours they will get five!

The fare is only $1.25 each way and it certainly beats having to pay for parking in these congested areas, however the ride isn't always pleasant. Homeless people continue to use the train, spread out on the benches and hang out to take advantage of the air conditioned cars among the hot Houston summers. Over the past year or so I have noticed that there are more fare inspectors, outfitted in neon yellow shirts, however these hasn't proven to be effective in reducing the homeless presence. Over the years I have seen people smoking on the training, sleeping, and even masturbating....yikes.

This actually deserves 0 stars, however that is not an option. As residents' of Houston who rely on…read moreMetro for transportation, we are concerned about the safety of our daily commutes on the MetroRail. We have to UNFORTUNATELY transfer from the Metro Park-n-Rides to the MetroRail to get into the Medical Center which has become dangerous and increasingly unsafe. The majority about 90% have to use the MetroRail en route to the Medical Center. This means that a large portion of Houston's Workforce is at risk every day due to inadequate transportation options. We want Metro to have more Park-n-Rides go directly into the Medical Center without having to transfer to the MetroRail, just like the Woodlands, Conroe, and Katy does. This will ensure safer travels for commuters. MetroRail also DOES NOT take action addressing safety ANY CONCERNS from it's PAYING passengers! Several people including myself have addressed NUMEROUS times incidents such as harassment, verbal assult, physicial assult, fighting, theft, stalking, threats of violence, transients sleeping on trains, panhandling, etc without any protection or care or concern from Metro Police. Passenger's complain to the drivers of the train and they ignore us, they really don't care. The paying customers are the ones that constantly get harrassed going to and form work, it has become a nightmare. Metro harass paying customers while transients ride free all day long and keep constant madness! The MetroRail is dirty, nasty, and always has foul orders of urine and feces smell. On any given day you will see transients eating, sleeping, drinking, or smoking weed on the train, and do you think they get put off?? NO! Everyone turns a blind eye! Wheeler Ave, Downtown, Main Station are the absolute worst!!

But, there's something still to be said about reaching for the stars, even if you are a station. Situated next to the huge Smith Lands parking lot (primarily for medical center visitors but used during the Rodeo, too), it faces a large apartment complex, which makes for convenient hops for those dwellers who also work in the medical center. The Texas Medical Center stops are either 2 or 3 stops on the northbound line from here. First one is TMC Dryden and second one is the Memorial Hermann Hospital/Zoo stop. If you're having a medical emergency, you could buy your $1.25 ticket, hop on, and stumble into the emergency room. Actually, for liability purposes, scratch that. Call 911 instead. Pro tip: If you have to pee while riding the rail, you can hop off at this stop, enter the Smith Lands parking lot gate, and follow the blue awning path to the shuttle bus stop. There are buildings on either side of the shuttle stop and both have clean air-conditioned bathrooms, complete with sinks, soap, and paper towels. You won't find a gem of knowledge like this in any Houston visitor center brochure. You're welcome.
