Riding Houston METRO Bus 20, Westpark/Lower Uptown Transit Center to Galleria (Uptown Houston)

Описание к видео Riding Houston METRO Bus 20, Westpark/Lower Uptown Transit Center to Galleria (Uptown Houston)

Riding the Houston METRO Bus Route 20 (bus model: NABI 40-LFW Gen III CNG) to & from Westpark/Lower Uptown Transit Center (5105 Westpark Drive, Houston, TX 77056; https://goo.gl/maps/gex8ujrp98r4sTJn9). This new transit center has three floors:

Floor 1 - Local bus route bays and METRORapid Silver Line (Bus Rapid Transit service) Station
Floor 2 - Parking for METRO's Passengers (I think parking is free?)
Floor 3 - Park & Ride (Commuter) Buses bays at the Southwest Corridor

In my opinion, if this transit center parking lot (second floor) is free, I would defiantly take the METRORapid Silver Line to the Galleria. Traffic is heavy when driving to/from the Galleria (especially the Holiday seasons and Uptown Houston Lighting Ceremony on Thanksgiving Day). Or I can park my car at Northwest Transit Center (parking is free; but parking spaces is limited). METRO states that the Silver Line will come every 10 minutes (15 minutes late evening).

REST IN PEACE METRO BUS ROUTE 33:
Once the Silver Line is in service (23 of August 2020), METRO Bus Route 33 will retire. Route 33 is being replaced by the Silver Line. You can watch METRO Bus Route 33 Ride (along with Silver Line stations) video here:    • Riding Houston METRO Bus 33, Uptown H...
