Houston's new MetroRail

I work at the northern terminus (UH-Downtown) of the new MetroRail line and I commute on public transit, so I've been looking forward to the opening of the line.

I rode it yesterday and today, between the UH-Downtown station and the Main Street Square station. I love it. The new rail line shaves 10-15 minutes each way from my commute, when compared to the C trolley, and the train is much more comfortable than the trolley. Plus, because the train part of my commute is entirely within downtown (I take the Allen Parkway Special or the 48 bus the rest of the way), I can use the $25/year MetroRail Downtown Pass, which means that losing the free trolley service won't be a burden.

Count me as a satisfied MetroRail customer so far.
