Now can we stay on topic?
Most cities transit system covers there metro dude, Dallas is no different. Get out and travel sometime and you would know this.

That's true. If it's metro vs metro you have to include DART, DCTA, The T, TRE, and even MATA. Just DART & The T well surpass Houston's METRO ridership. I don't see how you can look at ridership in just Dallas city proper or the city of Houston.

Financial capital of Texas.. Says who? Houston is the energy capital of the WORLD. Last I checked oil and gas is where the money is, so wouldn't the banks follow the money? Yes Dallas competes with Atlanta, but Houston competes with Miami and LA.
HAHAHAAHAA ! Not.

DALLAS compares with L.A. in most areas.
Houston only looks like L.A. when it comes to Palm Trees.

You get a Rep for this. This is how I feel about Dallas.
I don't think the City limit line, and the county line reflect Dallas.

That is why we brag about having the largest mass transit sysem in Texas(altought we leave out when it comes to sheer ridership we are getting our butts kicked) . That is why we constantly rely on The DFW to booster are self.
All those things you mentioned Actually make Dallas look BETTER.

Why is it bigger but producing smaller numbers ?
The stats from Wikipedia say Houston has way less.
Where are you getting your statistics? Just wondering.

I hate to break up this off-topic debate, even though it's proving to be in Dallas' favor, but this is a skyline thread.

Well then, in THAT case... DALLAS has the better Skyline Daytime OR Nite-time.

Our skyline is made up of Downtown AND Uptown TOGETHER, and you do not have to get miles away
(like Houston) to get a picture of ALL their Downtown, Uptown, and Medical districts into ONE PIC,

and make it LOOK like it's all lined-up and linked-up into one SKYLINE.

You might have to step back a bit of a distance, to take a good picture of Dallas, just to
get the ENTIRE Skyline into the frame, but it is not a bunch of pieces , some far away, some closeup,
and some over here and there, and from faraway it looks like a Big Skyline ! LOL !

This is DALLAS, man.

DALLAS WINS. C'mon already ! HAHHAHAHHHAAA !

Give it UP for the Big D !
