New Transportation Option from Fort Bend County Being Offered

Fort Bend County and the University of Houston are partnering together to offer a new option for Coogs to commute from the Sugar Land area to campus.

The service launches Tuesday, Sept. 3, and will cost $4 for a one-way ride. Pickup will be at the AMC Theater First Colony Park and Ride, 3301 Town Center Blvd., near First Colony Mall. From there, the Fort Bend Transit bus will take passengers to downtown Houston as part of its existing downtown commuter service route. From downtown, the bus will go to UH, where it will drop off passengers at the bus stop in front of the Welcome Center Garage on MLK Boulevard.

In the afternoon, the Fort Bend Transit bus will pick up passengers at the same bus stop, then head downtown before ending at the AMC Theater First Colony Park and Ride.

There will be three morning routes from AMC to UH:

  • Depart AMC: 6:58 a.m. / Arrive at UH: 8:11 a.m.
  • Depart AMC: 7:10 a.m. / Arrive at UH: 8:23 a.m.
