Correction: A previous version of the story implied the METRORapid project was a a Houston initiative. Wording has been changed to more accurately reflect METRO's role.
The Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County has announced plans to expand METRORapid lines along the University Corridor, affecting the Alief, Third Ward and Gulfton neighborhoods.
The new METRORapid project is a bus rapid transit line running over 25 miles between the Westchase Park & Ride near the intersection of Westpark and Sam Houston Tollway, and the Tidwell Transit Center near the intersection of Tidwell Road and Hwy. 59.
