Meanwhile, the outer reaches of Harris County still get nothing. Except taxed, of course.
The last Chron Move It! column had news of Pasadena’s new service:
Metro approved a proposal to expand bus service to Pasadena beginning next year. Metro expects to run buses from Houston to Pasadena’s Town Square Mall with a stop at the Monroe Park and Ride.
Similar service from the Monroe site is now available to Baytown.
Metro predicts an annual cost of $79,000. Harris County and federal funds are expected to cover the new route since it lies outside Metro’s service area.
How nice for them.
Here’s an idea: If METRO can expand its service to non-taxed areas by contract, how about if non-serviced areas have the ability to terminate their taxed contract with METRO?
