This is what I call a “road train” because it’s an articulated vehicle, it has doors on both sides of the bus, it stops on platforms, it runs thru bus only lanes.

I wonder why they didn’t use electric trolleybuses for this line. It would make it much more enjoyable to ride, and it would make the transition to light rail in the future a lot easier with the catenary infrastructure already in place.
@apluto12-z3e

Probably because of cost , and there is no previous trolley bus infrastructure there

I'm guessing because that would be rather expensive. BRT is low cost alternative that I wish more American cities world adopt to mitigate our transit issues.

I believe METRO is still working with the City of Houston to synchronize the traffic signal. Not sure when they will be done.

Cool. Last time I rode the H1 on the Purple line was in 2017. Also, in 2015, the H3 train broke down on the Purple Line. H1 came (from Harrisburg) and towed the H3 train.

Also, no offense to METRO, but that is one slow BRT line, especially on Post Oak. It’s like they didn’t make the lanes wide enough to allow for safe speeds faster than 20 mph, and the stops are so close together that it just slows the whole line down. Idk if these buses have transit signal priority, but if they do, it’s not working. Sorry, but not a good investment IMO.

I agree. Right now, I know that METRO is working with the City of Houston to get the signal priority, but I'm not sure when. And I hope METRO improves the designs of the BRT for the upcoming lines.

That car doesn't classify as a SLAB anymore. It's a clown car with clown shoes. It's a circusmobile. SLABS actually look good and influential and can be driven easily. Waist of a vehicle. Wrong type of car to be a SLAB anyway. As for the empty lot, hopefully that Titan Tower that got cancelled can go there. Great video👍🏾👍🏾
