Transit advocates recently expressed strong opposition to a budget proposal. This backlash led to a revision of the budget by Houston Metro. The revised budget preserves bus and rail service.

Further details about the budget revision and the initial proposal are available from the Houston Chronicle.

The Chronicle reported on the revision, noting the change came after significant backlash from transit advocates, but additional information about the specifics of the budget and the advocacy efforts is necessary for a full understanding of the situation.
