If this happens, you have paid more for the two trips than was necessary. These routes have fewer stops, and many use the HOV lane, so they're perfect for those longer trips that make for dreadful driving. And you'll not only save money, you'll get to your destination rested, relaxed and on time. Just ask your driver for one transfer when you get on the bus. Then, you can use it for three hours for travel in one direction.
Transfers are good for service of equal or lesser value.
Or, if you're making at least one round trip on the Local system, there's an even easier way. If you are a visitor to Houston, the trolley is a simple and effective way to travel to popular places like the George R. Brown Convention Center and all the major Downtown office towers. If you're a senior citizen, a student, Medicare cardholder or a disabled rider, our discount ID cards are your ticket to ride. Senior IDs are available to seniors age 62 and over. All you need is two dollars and your photo ID, birth certificate or Medicare as proof of age.
