Trams Gliding Across Water in Houston, Texas, USA

trams that appear to ride right on the water, with fountains and flowers surrounding it. In the center of downtown Houston for only one block this is the case. Tram interval is only 5 minutes on the weekday at any given moment (at rush hour 2 cars instead of one are run) Great care for tram surrounding and great interval time for the trams in Houston. They are plans to build more routes. ***Seriously this is the RIGHT way to treat trams!!!!!! Fast, interesting landscapes, great interval between trams etc.

@gnossticc Um. Mexico only had Texas from 1821-1836. Spain had Texas far longer and France was the first. So no, Texas never belonged to just Mexico.

@StylistecS Texas belonged to Mexico, and I'm not condoning illegals. There is bound to be mexicans in such a state.

[StylistecS]

@bigtown Everything you said in this paragraph was wrong. There are born and raised Houstonians that are Mexican that are not and dislike illegals. Don't assume just because they are Mexican or speak spanish, they are illegals. The illegals do NOT outnumber the people born in this country.

[bigtown]

@StylistecS The problem isn't that there are mexicans there, the problem is the illegals outnumber the people born in this country. Texas will be the first state where spanish will be the language of the state and mexicans will be in charge of it. Your culture as Americans will be considered inferior there. Give it time, and not much time at that. Anyone that visits Houston is blind if they don't see it. Miserable city, horrible state.

@bigtown Explain how Houston has no personality. Because I find your comment false and yet ridiculous. So what there are Mexicans there. It's near the border. Racist much?

[bigtown]

Live there for 4 years. fuck Houston, for one it's too fucking hot to even call it good weather, and the illegals have taken over that motherfucker! They outnumber everyone in Houston. It looks every bit like Mexico there, and most can't speak a bit of english. This city doesn't have enough personality to ever be a city I would recommend. BTW, this city has the nastiest drinking water in the country.

Love it.

awesome

I agree. This is how trams and trains should be treated. In new York without the subway the whole city would collapse and crumble. Many light rails today even have grass around their tracks and vines/hanging flowers on the poles for the wires. Great way to keep the air nice.

what is not mentioned is that when the intervals of the trains increase post rush hour, the fountains pulse water into the air two and a half stories high- the entire place turns into something like the Bellagio Fountains.....but not on that scale....similar effect......no music though....
