About Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (METRO)
METRO opened for business in 1979, inheriting a company called HouTran with a bus fleet in disrepair and service that was unreliable. During the 1980s, improvements were made, and the system became increasingly safe, clean and reliable.
Ground was broken on METRO’s first rail line in March 2001. The original 7.5 mile, 16-station line ran from UH-Downtown to Fannin South. Service began on New Year’s Day 2004. That line remains part of what’s now known as the Red Line.
In November 2003, voters approved the METRO Solutions referendum which called for significant expansion of light rail and other METRO services.
