Houston

Houston up until 2004 was the largest US city without a fixed guideway transit system. Many said the oil/car centered city would never have a successfull light rail system, they were wrong.

The north-south red line opened linking downtown to the medical centers to the south. Quickly this line became very popular. A northern extension was later opened.

Next came the Purple and Green lines heading west from downtown. The Green line has an extension underway. There is talks of more lines and extensions in the future.
