George Bush Airport shuttle bus drop fares
Beginning January 23, 2011 George Bush Airport shuttle bus drops fares by 70 percent and have more options in drop-off or pick-up locations in downtown Houston when traveling to or from George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).This dramatic drop in fares – from $15 to $4.50 for a one-way trip – comes after careful cooperation with the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau (GHCVB).
For the Metropolitan Transit Authority the move also aims to increase ridership and reduce costs. The 52-passenger Airport Direct Shuttle currently averages only two riders per trip every 30 minutes between Metro’s passenger plaza at 815 Pierce in downtown Houston and Terminal C at IAH.
“It hemorrhages money,” confessed George Greanias, president and CEO of Metro, about the current shuttle service. “We think it’s a valuable service, (but) we need to reconfigure it in a way that’s more cost-effective.”
The new route will avoid the passenger plaza completely, transporting travelers instead to and from the George R. Brown Convention Center, as well as downtown hotels: the Hilton Americas, the Doubletree, the Hyatt Regency, the Marriott, the Four Seasons, and the Crowne Plaza, all in downtown Houston.
In fact, the passenger plaza will be completely shut down by Metro to further reduce costs. As a result of these changes, and despite the fares being dropped, Metro authorities project a savings of $350,000 overall during the first eight months of the rerouting.

IAH rated best for on-time Performance
No other large airport in the United States consistently operated more timely flights than Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport, according to the United States Department of Transportation, which each month compiles statistics for on-time performance at the nation’s airports.
During the month of October 2010 no other airport in the U.S. arrived and departed flights more on-time than IAH.
Of the nation’s 30 largest airports, Bush Intercontinental averaged on-time departures for 91.44 percent and on-time arrivals for 91.42 percent of their flights, in comparison to a national average departure on-time performance of 83.8 percent, respectively.
“At Bush Intercontiental, the majority of our travelers are connecting from one flight to another. We work diligently with our airline partners to ensure that from the airport's perspective all is ready to support outstanding on-time capabilities," says Mary Case, airport general manager for Bush Intercontinental. “This recognition from the U.S. Department of Transportation is really a testament to the hundreds of airport employees who make it their personal mission to operate at a high performance and to be at our best to serve the traveling public.”
In addition, the nation’s airlines have also significantly reduced the amount of time flights are delayed. Since the federal government enacted new regulations restricting the amount of time occupied aircraft can sit on the tarmac without letting their passengers off, there have been significantly less such incidences.
Between May and October 2010 the Bureau of Transportation Statistics reported only 12 tarmac delays of more than three hours by the 18 airlines that file such statistics – in comparison to 546 such delays during the same time period a year earlier.
In October 2010 alone, there were no flights reported with tarmac delays of more than three hours, down from a reported 11 flights in October 2009.
