Public transit is in demand in Houston due to urban densification and major events push residents toward alternative commuting options. This issue is compounded more in Fort Bend and Montgomery Counties, where these communities are seeing increased density, driving higher daily demand for reliable, high frequency bus or shuttle options. Houston’s surrounding suburbs need more transportation options.https://t4america.org/2026/03/12/yes-even-the-suburbs-want-more-transit/

WRT will create a reliable, high frequency service that people can actually use, especially for low density suburbs-where ridership will be increased by focusing on frequency and reliability. WRT will work to create a reliable, all day/ 7 days a week, that will link the expanding suburbs of Fort Bend to Houston’s urban core.
