Houston Using ONLY Public Transit

Houston is NOT a city known for it's public transportation, but on today's episode, we put it to the test. We spent an entire day crisscrossing the city on trains, buses, a BRT line, and on foot to see what it would be like to live in, or visit Houston without a car. While we were mostly successful, there are plenty of lessons to be learned. What did you think of this episode? Are you from Houston and have more anecdotes to share? Let us know in the comments! We have done episodes like this in 5 cities now! Stay tuned for Dallas, Kansas City and more coming in 2025 (Let us know where else you'd like to see us go!)
