What the heck does two park n rides have to do with crime?? I ride the park n ride...every day for 17 years...along with other businesss professionals, medical workers, and students from Atascocita, Humble, and Kingwood who spend our days downtown.

@KI832 The Eastex route (256) is not local, it’s a park n ride too. There is a local bus that also stops there though, if that’s what you were referring to.

Like I said, don’t take my word for it take a sociology class. They even offer them free online.

@whiskeyranger That’s not helpful in understanding your point. So I’ll just ignore it as invalid.Park N Ride is great! Save money, lessen pollution and traffic....and transport criminals (according to @whiskeyranger).

@HumbleGirl Wow. Let me guess you’re a liberal?

@whiskeyranger ????Have you ever ridden the bus?

@HumbleGirl Yes I have. I also ride public transportation in many cities. It really has less to that than taxes. I understand what you’re saying and not arguing with you. Look into inner city raising the taxes and suburbs lowering them.

@HumbleGirl Yes that is what I meant

@whiskeyranger To whomever I am speaking with I do happen to hold a Masters in Transportation as well a management position as well as 6 years in Law Enforcement. But we won’t dig into all of that. I am not saying that the area isn’t served by Metro but you have to know and understand who are riding the buses in the area. I don’t public transportation in this area has been a big contributing factor to the crime in the area due to the fact that once dropped off you need some type of transportation to get from into the immediate areas. The Park & Rides serve Houston and Humble. Kingwood would be included in Houston because it’s annexed and they pay the Metro Sales Tax. If no sales tax were paid then there wouldn’t be service. I am not disagreeing with you but just stating details more in depth.

@HumbleGirl I work for the company

@HumbleGirl Not saying it’s not great. It is very cost efficient

Regardless of what we agree or disagree on this topic of discussion some people dislike public transit regardless the type of people it transport.

@whiskeyranger I've taken several sociology classes and although I agree with some of your facts I dont agree with the metro being the contributing factor. It is on a major highway away from our neighborhoods, there are no bus stops in our neighborhoods that Im aware of. I know lots of people personally who take the park and ride who all work at very successful corporations and all live in our area. Some companies offer it free as an incentive. So this particular park and ride isn't all criminals. I believe that it has to do more with what was mentioned earlier about people targeting nicer neighborhoods then going back to theirs. Also the dynamics of Humble has changed a lot. Our surrounding areas have become more populated, there's just so many factors I think contribute to the crime but the park and ride IMO is the least of them.

This crime was not done by an outsider. The two were dating and had gotten into an argument earlier in the day. www.click2houston.co m/news/1-killed-in-a tascocita-shooting-d eputies-say

Damn. To overcome so much and then be murdered? So sad.
