Fusion in Houston 2023 - Transportation

[JKissnerDS]

For those of us that have never traveled to Houston...

1) What is the best way to travel from airport (Hobby) to the convention center area? Are Lyft and Uber good options?

2) It appears that there is a distance of about 0.5 mile from hotel to Fusion. (Other side of the park) Some of my searches seemed to indicate some construction in the area. Are there better paths than others?

3) Anything else I need to know as a single traveler?

@JKissnerDSif you are not renting a car then traveling from Hobby to the convention center is pretty easy. You can grab an Uber/Lyft or take the MetroRail. the latter will take under an hour with what looks like only one train switch and minimal walking (link and capture below).

from the looks of things on Google maps, there are a number of routes to take to navigate around any construction when walking and likely scooters for rent in the area if you enjoy that. I'm a fan myself but realize it's not for everyone.

我没有看到任何指导融合faq但maybe there is something in the in-person experience link.

I'd also recommend contacting the hotel front desk since they will likely have real-time, in-situ guidance.

I also found this information regarding transportation in downtown Houston. Depending where you are staying an option is the Greenlink which is advertised as free.

There is also an interactive map on downtownhouston.org that I have found useful.
