Introducing an exciting new mode of transportation for the region – Signature Bus. Convenient, reliable and quick as a bunny, METRO’s first Signature route, the 402 Quickline Bellaire, simplifies travel along the Bellaire corridor.

A First for Houston Commuters
An important component of METRO's regional mobility plan, Signature Service is based on the successful Bus Rapid Transit model. The result: METRO’s 402 Quickline Bellaire route provides faster travel and fewer stops aboard high-end hybrid vehicles, plus greater reliability and increased customer convenience through the use of integrated technology, infrastructure and operational investments.

How Signature Service Works
The new 402 Quickline Bellaire operates with the efficiency of METRORail by offering limited stops to popular business centers all along the line. The new Quickline features eight state-of-the-art bus stations complete with digital “next bus” signage to inform you when your bus will arrive. In addition, a bright blue road stripe has been painted along the entire route for easy identification.

Quickline provides reliable weekday rush-hour service, every 15 minutes, delivering you to your scheduled destination much quicker than METRO’s 2 Bellaire route. Best of all, the 402 Quickline Bellaire costs just $1.25 each way – the same as METRO’s local routes.
