The cars themselves don’t have greater capacity; they’re actually a few feet shorter than the older model. The added capacity comes from being able to run all two-car trains at rush hour and for special events.
Until they get the Richmond rail, Metro is not doing a very good job. That is one of the most traveled bus lines in town.
you can thank John Culberson for that.
Metro needs to move ahead with the Richmond line as Bus Rapid Transit, which would connect to the post oak line and make our new trasit system fairly complete. They may not get as much oppposition with bus rapid transit, plus it is cheaper
