METRO restores Cuney Homes bus service after outcry
The outcry over METRO's latest round of "service adjustments" has led to an unusual outcome: a rare reversal of a decision. Here's an excerpt of KHOU-11's report from Friday:
Protests and complaints have paid off for some disgruntled metro riders in Southeast Houston.
Next week, the #68 Brays Bayou bus route will return to the Cuney Homes.
It was removed along with other routes in an effort to streamline service last month.
When that occurred 81-year-old Mary Thomas joined others in insisting the loss would force her to walk several city blocks.
Since then, Metro has held two meetings with Cuney Homes residents, and has decided to return the #68 to their community.
Kudos to METRO for reconsidering the decision and responding to the people it is supposed to serve. We'd like to see more behavior like that from the transit organization.
