The Houston Metropolitan Transit Authority (METRO) offers local bus service.

• IAH to downtown Houston: METRO Bus 102 serves the airport and surrounding vicinity with multiple stops and continues to the METRO station downtown. The fare is $1.25 (cash only; the driver does not make change). Transit time to downtown runs 50 to 90 minutes. Riders may stow luggage in the baggage compartment accessed from the outside of the bus (drivers do not assist with luggage). Pick up and drop off is at the METRO Bus Stop on Baggage Claim Level, south side of Terminal C.
• IAH to HOU: For passengers wishing to travel by bus from IAH to HOU, take the METRO Bus 102 downtown (see above). Get off at the intersection of Milam and McKinney (before the METRO Transit Center), asking the driver to wait until any luggage is retrieved. Walk two blocks east on McKinney to the corner of McKinney and Main. Catch the METRO Bus 40 (eastbound/southbound) to HOU. The fare is $1.25 per ride for a total fare of $2.50.
