Houston Metro Rail: The Night Owl's Best Friend (Or Foe, Depending on How You Look At It)
So, you're planning a night out in the Bayou City and you're wondering, "How late does this dang Metro Rail run?" Well, buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to dive into the world of Houston's nocturnal transit.
Weekday Warriors and Weekend Wizards
Let's break it down.
- Weekday Warriors: If you're grinding it out Monday to Thursday, the Metro Rail is your trusty steed from a bright and early 4:30 AM until a respectable midnight. Perfect for those who love to rise with the sun or those who
love a slightly less intense nightlife. - Weekend Wizards: Fridays are a slightly extended party, running from 4:30 AM to 2:20 AM. Saturdays are even more generous, starting at 5:30 AM and keeping you rolling until 2:20 AM. But hold your horses, Sunday is a different story. It's
a relaxed affair, with the Metro Rail operating from 5:30 AM to 11:40 PM. So, if you're planning a Sunday Funday, make sure to catch that last train!
Don't Be That Guy (Or Girl)
Remember, just because the Metro Rail runs late doesn't mean you should push it. There's nothing quite as glamorous as being the last person on a train, surrounded by the echoes of your own footsteps. Plus, you don't want to be that person who misses the last train and has to Uber home at 3 AM. Trust us, your wallet will thank you.
