A layover brought us back here and it was quiet and not crowded for a Saturday, early evening. As far as US airports go, this was a nice change and a pleasure to fly through. Connecting international flights take extra time to go through passport control, immigration, and recheck bags. Allow extra time for connecting flights. Only downside, hence a deduction of a point is somehow my neck pillow was either stolen or thrown away after going through the security machine. Although there are cameras everywhere, they couldn't find it. All in a matter of minutes. At least all my important items were still there.

They could use more restrooms and more seating areas with actual seats and not tables would be nice additions! Otherwise, it was a great surprise, it beats the one in Dallas! Many people around, but it never seems crowded, it makes it easier to wait around for layovers, more chill. Also, great food options and stores to shop at! I would use it again for layovers if it'll work in the future! Cute design for decor, spacious, nice upgrades!

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!!

This bus line - Houston Metro's 102 - almost requires its own review because its function is unique…read moreand the experience is very different from that aboard regular bus routes, and even those with limited morning and evening runs connecting exurbian park and ride lots and downtown. This bus goes between IAH airport and downtown Houston ... and that's it. The buses are sometimes like motor coaches, with upholstered seats, power outlets, overhead vents you can regulate, and some room for luggage on and below. On occasions, it might be an articulated bus, which is a double length bus and still spacious. You can't argue with the fare. It's $1.25 and it behooves the Houston area to keep it low so people can get between IAH airport and downtown and keep vehicles such as rental cars, rideshares, and taxis off the road. Note that IAH-Bush Intercontinental is the much more distant of H-town's two major airports. This bus line would easily get 5 stars if two things were present. First, the bus uses I-45, which is free of charge, instead of using the quickly moving parallel tollway from downtown and heading toward IAH. The other is that the, for a small part of the trip, the bus plies the streets of Greenspoint, and that part goes slowly. It's that this area, near IAH, has a fair number of big hotels seemingly aimed at airport and business park travelers put up during the '70s boom. I'm sure it does not look like the Greenspoint of the "Brady" years and Houstonians tend to make jokes about that, but many are not suitable for repeating. Lastly, this bus often tends toward being full. I've only taken it twice - once in each direction - and would gladly take it in the future. If picking it up at the airport - right outside Terminal C - you just queue and that determines when you board or if you are slated for the next bus. If picking it up downtown, it runs between the big Metro transit center and goes up linearly along the length of downtown until it merges onto I-45 and starts moving more fluidly. In that short leg, I saw it go from being sparsely populated near its downtown terminus to filling up by its last downtown stop, so plan accordingly if you want a more comfortable ride. - - - - - As I approached the 102, it was as if some sort of a song or jingle was playing in my head. It would have had the tempo and delivery of "ABC" by the Jackson 5. I'll give this the "old college try." Remember that you must infuse a Jackson 5 "ABC" rhythm - you know, when music was spirited - or this won't work.

For example, Lufthansa operates a overnight redeye flight from Charlotte to Munich five times per week. It used to be an A340 (widebody, four engines) but they've since upgauged to an A350 (widebody, two engines). It's leftover from when US Airways and Lufthansa were in the same alliance and it's still filled with folks coming and going to the South Carolina BMW factory. You can't miss the sound - it's the largest passenger aircraft at CLT. If you've ever looked up at the sky and wondered where that plane is headed, this is the app for you.

Unlike my experience on the Red Line, the Purple shares a lane of traffic in each direction with cars and on a busy day as it was today, the train does not get you there any faster than simply walking. The station is a side platform on Capitol Street on Rusk Street between Fannin Street and San Jacinto Street. It is between Theater District (westbound) and Convention District (eastbound, towards Palm Center). The station has automated ticket kiosks and an overhead visual announcement for the next train.

I felt like I wasn't supposed to be down there after hours- none of the interesting looking shops, food stands or anything much was open, other than parking and restrooms. You enter through sort-of nondescript doorways to go up and down stairways to these tunnels that look like they'd be great for when it's raining, or super hot outside. They're air conditioned.
