The change comes after public meetings in June and July with the METRO officials, where residents expressed a need for transportation to the area for appointments and work.
The details
The Missouri City Route 270 begins at the newly-constructed Missouri City Park & Ride—located at 20525 Fort Bend Parkway Toll Road, Fresno—and transports residents to the Texas Medical Center, according to its website.
According to a July 25 news release, the expansion adds three stops, including:
- Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center
- MD Anderson Cancer Center
- Baylor Medicine McNair Campus
Expanded services began July 28 and will run weekdays, but will be limited in trips until early August, per the release. Each ride costs $3.25, which can be purchased with cash or a Q-fare card.
The expanded route will be added to all Missouri City Route 270 trips beginning Aug. 11, per the release.
