[City] Houston [State] TX [Description] Houston: After many years and many discussions whether to have a monorail or subway or even light rail, Houston Mayor Lee Brown pushed forward a simple light rail line that connected the largest medical center in the world with downtown Houston. They did it all with local money because Rep Tom Delay would not allow federal funding to be spent on the project. Today this is the most successful new line in the United States and construction has begun on future extensions that will bring the number of distinct lines to five. [Category]
