METRO Bus - Bicycle Rack

Houston METRO has an expansive, heavily used bus system—in fact, the most used bus system in the entire Southwest. Service runs on city streets, stopping at every other corner along its route and includes the HOV/Park and Ride System, which features stations alongside freeways and is used heavily during peak times. Prior to the METRORail train, METRO consisted of the largest all-bus fleet in the United States since Houston was the largest major city without any rail transit since 1990. METRO buses allow cyclists to bring their bikes along when they travel; the low-floor fleet is equipped with bike racks so passengers can avoid riding on congested streets on their way to bike trails, work, school or other destinations. Bicycles also can be stowed on the high-floor buses in the baggage compartment, but are not allowed on METRO’s articulated buses.
