Wait, there's WiFi on the buses already?

[@ThisisTechie]

On most buses yeah

[@davidhbingham6812]

When will METRO arrive in Deer Park and Pasadena? Apparently it gets to NASA, Webster and Clear Lake, but completely misses Deer Park and Pasadena, TX 😠🤠

[@METROHouston]

Hi David - those cities do not pay the tax required for METRO services. ^B

[@ThisisTechie]

Talk to your city council to get them onboard with Metro

[@davidhbingham6812]

What is the procedure to get METRO Service to area's that don't have it? I know Harris County has built Park and Ride lots in Baytown and in an area adjacent to Pasadena that METRO operates buses to & from downtown Houston that are underwritten by Harris County. 🤠
I still have a valid METRO Q-Card that should still have at least 5 bus trips remaining. (IIRC: METRO listed a number of Valero Convenience stores in non-Metro cities that were listed before I moved to Deer Park 5 years ago, don't know if those still remain.🤨

@@davidhbingham6812 I would definitely talk to one of their reps for more information, unfortunately that's how most answers are found and isn't clear.
