Rope a Ride on METRO to the Rodeo!

It’s finally rodeo season, y’all! Time to dust off those boots, pick out your finest cowboy hat and make your way to NRG Park for the annual Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

But here’s the million dollar question: Should you ride your trusty steed or METRO? Hint: METRO is the easiest and most affordable way to get to and from the rodeo!

Whether you take the bus or rail, it's just $1.25 one way or $4 for our Maxey Road Park & Ride option.

“METRO makes attending the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo easy with its transportation options, including METRORail, local buses, and park and ride service,” said Luis Garcia, senior public engagement representative. “METRO offers a dependable, cost-effective, and safe way to get to the rodeo without the hassle of driving."
