No it doesn't..... If a train ran from downtown to 290/beltway 8, it'll take almost an hour...
I think you are confusing local routes with express routes... express buses have no stops inbetween....... they are as fast and cheaper than rail..... the reason why people don't favor it; negative stigma towards buses.....
it wouldn't take an hour. I can get to downtown from 290/8 in about 30-35 minutes at 4pm-5pm. I know because i do it all the time. A train would get there quicker without having to deal with traffic issues. Only stops should be at maybe Tidwell and then Antoine.Buses will never be a viable option to anyone. If they check the estimated times like I do it's never an option.
