RYDE proudly serves Houston’s Second Ward with an on-demand shuttle service at $1.25 designed to meet the unique mobility needs of this historic and growing community. Discounted fares, including senior and student discounts, are available for eligible riders. Visit METRO’s fare FAQs for details. Known for its deep-rooted culture, working-class pride, and vibrant Latino heritage, Second Ward is home to families, seniors, small businesses, and longtime residents who rely on accessible transportation to stay connected.

Our service links riders to key destinations such as local schools, churches, community centers, small businesses, parks, and METRO transit lines—improving access to education, groceries, healthcare, and daily essentials. Whether you're a mom dropping your kids off at daycare, catching the light rail, visiting a local food pantry or supermarket, or a senior regaining your independence, RYDE offers a safe and clean ride right when you need it.

We work closely with neighborhood organizations and stakeholders to ensure our routes and service hours align with the community’s needs. With flexible scheduling and a commitment to equity, RYDE is proud to support a more connected, resilient Second Ward one ride at a time.
