TRANSIT FLY Review: Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport offers
fair airport transit. For those heading to Downtown Houston, one of the often
overlooked transit options is the METRO IAH Express Bus Route #102. The
#102 Express Bus provides service every 30 minutes from the south side of
Bush Airport's Terminal "C" to Downtown Houston for only $1.50 (recommended
for those without large luggage). Another option available for passengers using
Houston Bush Intercontinental is SuperShuttle. The shared-ride van operator
provides door-to-door service to almost every neighborhood in the Houston
Metropolitan area for approximately one-half the cost of a taxi.
