The ethnic broad who ran Metro and put in, got a bonus and skipped
town before the S*** H** the F** (

Who but Texas A & M (they were contracted to evaluate the problem)
would OK putting a 60 MPH train down the center of a 4 lane City
street ( and not expect problems when only two lanes were left for
two way auto traffic (one each way) ?????

I'm riding the Trolley Monday going to Doc and will have first hand
experience on it then.

Funny system. You buy a ticket and get on and there is no one to check
your ticket. Wonder the cost of ticket checker vs lost revenue for
people not buying tickets?????????

Crazy City, Houston.

When did they get un-synchronized? The downtown lights were
synchronized in Houston when I learned to drive in the '60s and were
still that way when I left in 1990.

Our new Tooter Ville Trolley, running down main street,
is still hitting cars. Has had around 35 accidents since
start of business early in year
(just before Super Bowel) (

I'm not totally up to speed on that thing, but from what I hear from
family & friends in Houston, it sounds like the dumbest boondoggle in
America.
