Elevated busway will run along southern side of I-10, but I-45 rebuild leaves open how...
Metro officials Thursday settled on the route for a busway along Interstate 10 that they predict will improve transit for urban and suburban travelers, whether they hop on board or not.will allow park and ride buses and bus rapid transit to avoid freeway traffic between the Northwest Transit Center near Loop 610 and I-10 and Houston’s central business district.
By 2045, officials expect about 30,000 commuter bus riders and 12,000 rapid transit riders to use the busway daily. A trip from the Northwest Transit Center to downtown would take 19 minutes — less than many peak-time commutes by car or truck take now.Driving the fastest route on a smartphone app could increase risk of crashing, Texas A&M study says
Within the central business district, the BRT vehicles will use the existing light rail platforms along Capitol and Rusk. Two other stations, at St. Emmanuel and Franklin at Bagby, will be built for the buses. Current plans for I-45 — the $9 billion-plus mega-project that rebuilds the downtown freeway system — call for the removal of the HOT lane ramps. If those connections cannot remain or be rebuilt as part of the I-45 redo, Metro is keeping the option of continuing its elevated busway on the south side of I-10 into downtown.
