METRORail is the 7.5-mile (12.1 km) light rail line located in Houston, Texas. It is the second major light rail service in Texas following the Dallas Area Rapid Transit system. With an approximate daily ridership of 39500, the METRORail ranks as the fourteenth most-traveled light rail system in the United States, with the second highest ridership per track mile. – The arrival of METRORail came 64 years after the previous streetcar system was shut down, which left Houston as the largest city in the United States without a rail system since 1990 when the Blue Line opened in Los Angeles. METRORail is operated by the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County, Texas, or METRO for short.
