Get on Track with Houston's METRORail

METRORail is a fast, convenient way to travel to Downtown, Midtown, the Museum District and Texas Medical Center. It also connects to METRO’s Airport Direct Passenger Plaza where buses depart every 30 minutes to Bush Intercontinental Airport.

Customers can carry a pet on the bus and the rail as long as it is caged properly. The animals that are not caged with a disabled person is considered a service animal.

Bus and rail riders may bring car seats aboard, but there are no seat belts to strap the car seat to the bus or rail seat. So the caregiver would have to hold the baby or child. Strollers are also allowed. On buses, we suggest removing the child from the stroller and folding the stroller while on-board.
