Media Advisory #2: Bus
Bridge
Feb. 8, 2010
METRO has begun single-tracking northbound rail travel between the Downtown transit center and the UH-DT station.
The bus bridge remains in place for patrons traveling the stretch between the Downtown transit center and the UH-Downtown station. METRO buses are picking up patrons on Travis for northbound travel and Fannin for southbound travel.
METRORail is also single-tracking southbound between the Downtown transit center and Fannin South.
Preliminary evidence indicates the bus operator ran a red light, hitting the train on Main Street at St. Joseph Parkway this afternoon. Four persons have been transported to St. Joseph Hospital, four others have been transported to Ben Taub Hospital and one person has been taken to Hermann Hospital – all with non-life threatening injuries.
