It's honestly a good idea, it's the transportations own lanes connecting all over greater Houston. Also you can't really do a train that stretches the whole 10,000 squar miles of the greater Houston area. So it's a good idea because it's cheaper. Making Houston having more money to build more business because well famous business's and people are moving into the city. Houston is moving in the right path.

NOT A GOOD IDEA: Bus is stupid. Houston NEEDS trains. This is more expensive than just putting rail lines on the wide roads they already have. Absolutely no need for new infrastructure.

STUPID. Houston should just put rail on the wide roads they already have. Absolutely no need for new infrastructure.
