They're both great cities, I have tons of fun in them both.

The feds have ordered the city of Houston to draw up and submit their 2030 transit plans, so we're still waiting on the blue prints for that.

But Dallas looks nice!

It's already been drawn out...by Metro. I think it was on their Metro Solutions website.

Well I couldn't find what our 2030 map will look like, I was pretty curious to see how in depth it would get, because my area (Southwest Houston/Sugar Land) seems to be left out of many extensions for LRT and barely anything from Commuter Rail.

Anyways I did find what our Commuter Rail trains will look like:

And of course, everyone recognizes the LRT trains:

The Phase III map is just rail. The other map (its either a 2030 or 2035 plan) includes BRT/Quickline routes (the Bellaire Quickline is already open), as well as other commuter rail routes (they have one for Westpark). Both cities have a ton of work.

And the reason why your Sugar Land is left out is because it was too proud to join Metro, unlike it's neighbor Missouri City. You can't get service without joining. Not even DART does that.
