Quickline (also known as Signature Service) is a bus rapid transit (BRT) service operated by the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (METRO). Launched in 2009,[1] Quickline provides supplementary service to high-use METRO bus routes, featuring improved buses and stations, fewer stops, and signal priority for improved efficiency. It is one of two BRT services operated by METRO, the other being the METRORapid Silver Line.
Quickline currently consists of one route, Bellaire Quickline (also known as 402 or QL2), which supplements Route 2 and serves a 9-mile (14 km) stretch of Bellaire Boulevard from Texas Medical Center to Chinatown on weekdays. Quickline service on other high-use routes has been proposed.
