I still can't get over the frequencies on it! At least while we were there, it was so good haha.... -Louis

Great video, I’m so happy to see y’all here! Houston within the 610 loop is dense, diverse, and has decent transit for Texas. The urban sprawl that surrounds Houston is very very different and car dependent. It’s a shame that the mayor and his buddies seem to be doubling down on the car culture, but I think Houston is diverse enough to maintain and carry on the liberal housing and transit/mobility initiatives that make the city unique

Thanks for watching!

Going to visit Houston later in December. This video helps to understand how to get around, thank you! But no bikeshare is a real bummer.

[@TransitTangents]

Thanks for watching! Yeah no bike share definitely a bummer... I love using bikes to get around new cities. If you are transit savvy, you should be able to swing a visit using mostly public transit and an occasional uber/lyft when necessary or if you are venturing further out, etc...

[@ctjameson]

The messed up part is… There was bike share and Metro deemed it not worth the upkeep. We can’t have anything nice in Houston.

Love watching your videos! As someone who loves Jet Lag and lives in the Austin area, I'd be super interested to see how you guys play the game here.

[@TransitTangents]

I got one of the first 500 copies that is supposed to arrive any day now! Very curious to actually put my hands on it and see what we will be able to do. We may try to do some more casual Austin events next year, if you are not following us on socials keep an eye out if you are interested! Thanks for watching! -Louis

My Birthplace is Houston. After moving to Atlanta in 1995 and experiencing MARTA, I would never move back to Houston. A good rail system is essential for me. In 2010, after losing my job in Atlanta, I moved to Dallas. I fell in love with the DART system. It was even better than MARTA. In 2026, the DFW Metro will have 95 miles of light rail and 76 miles of computer rail. Rail transit to both Airports. Houston is way behind in its rail infrastructure.

[@TransitTangents]

Definitely agree that there is still plenty of work to be done in Houston. Keep an eye out for an episode like this in Dallas sometime in February next year. Atlanta may happen too, we'll see. Thanks for watching!

Another great video guys :) really love these

[@TransitTangents]

Thanks for watching! More cities to come in 2025 🙌

Visited Houston from OKC rode the Red Line line to a venue and the vibe was way different then during the middle of the day lol. While the frequency is pretty good, the thing is stupidly slow moving. DART is definitely a better system to me but I’m glad Houston has a system they could build off of, if they had the adequate leadership…

[@BigFemto1]

Also LOL at the person driving with a orange traffic cone under there car that definitely sums up their driving in a nutshell

[@TransitTangents]

@@BigFemto1 Thanks for watching! And yeah I was glad to have caught that lol....
