to multiple routes serving the same freeway. In the Midday, this type of service is combined to a single route serving multiple park and ride lots and designated with a 9 at the end of the route number (example: 219, 259, 229). Most of these routes travel in the HOV lane of a freeway during commute hours; Metro was a national pioneer in this type of service. 402 Bellaire QuicklineThis service began on June 1, 2009. Quickline is Metro's Signature Service. The Bellaire corridor is the first for the pilot program with the route called the 402 (or QL2) to supplement service along the most heavily used bus route in the system, 2 Bellaire. The Quickline system features upgraded buses, fewer stops, and more modern and comfortable bus stops. Note: The Express and Park and Ride were once under the Commuter Routes umbrella until they gained their own distinctive non-stop service designations in 2004. As of 2010, aside from routes #170, 212, and 261, the routes are organized in corridors, but are now all listed as Park & Ride (Commuter) Service. Routes Metro's bus routes are numbered according to a system. On August 24, 2015, Metro revamped their entire bus network with new routes and frequent service. Under the New Bus Network (NBN), all local routes run 7 days a week with the exception of the 108 Veterans Memorial Express and the 151 West Park Express. For example, the old 68 Brays Bayou Crosstown between the Third Ward and the Texas Medical Center did not have frequent service, so Metro designed Route 4 Beechnut to extend the Third Ward segment of the 68, providing service every 10 minutes during peak and 15 minutes during off-peak service. The Metro's heavily used 82 Westheimer Road also had a system improvement. During the rush hour commute, this route now runs every 8 minutes due to the heavy use of the line. During the New Bus Network re-design, some passengers complained that the 82 was over capacity resulting in riders waiting for the next bus or having to stand. As of January 24, 2016, this route will be increased in frequency from every 8 minutes to every 6 minutes to improve reliability. Metro provides the free Greenlink shuttle services in Downtown Houston, represented by routes 412 and 413. Metro's express and commuter buses consist of MCI and New Flyer "Viking" buses, which have reclining
