METRO's
route-by-route summary of the re-imagined bus

60 Kelley Scott
Frequent Network, Green south of S.
Acres
I was wondering how METRO would be
dealing with the current 1 Hospital. This current route is no more
and its routing is being split among a number of re-imagined routes,
including this one which should be named 60 Scott Kelley LBJ. The
current 52 Scott gives its routing to this new re-imagined service.
61 Jensen
It would not be a METRO network without something on Jensen. The street is just too strategic coming out of Downtown and straight to the northeast. Taking routings from the current 3 Langley, 6 Jensen, umpteen routes from Downtown on Jensen to Clinton, and the 83 Lee Road Circulator, we lose a lot of direct service in what will be the 398 Jensen Flex.

62 Cullen Hirsch
Blue
Current 29 TSU/UH Crosstown, 30 Cullen,
52 Hirsch, and 83 Lee Road Circulator routings make up this new 62
Cullen Hirsch, which does not really serve the northeast quadrant of
Houston that well. The northeast is the new domain of four of the
five new Flex zones, which we will get to in time.
65 Homestead Greens
Green
A tiny bit of 26/27 102 Bush IAH, 83
Lee Road Circulator, 77 Liberty, 26/27 Outer Loop / Inner Loop
Crosstown make up routings for this new Green bus route, which given
the Greenspoint location is all-too-appropriate given the lack of
ridership.
66 OST Wayside
Blue
I had hoped for a bus going the full
length and breadth of OST, and with this draft network, we almost get
our wish. OST west of Bertner is left out.
69 Broadway
Frequent Network
We don't get direct non-stop service by
any means to Hobby Airport, but we do get a logical extension to the
East Line starting at the Magnolia TC and going all the way down
Broadway, providing a somewhat-decent bus service to Hobby, though if
it had been my thing to do, I would have skipped out on the Southeast
Line and put the East Line all the way to Hobby along Elgin or
Wheeler. But, no-one asked me.
What the Broadway does do is provide southeast Houston with a Frequent Network north-south spine, and yes, this is a route for which I had hoped.
