Run the rail to Middle Street and run buses (not trains) on the track. One set to Downtown and another to UH. Make these express buses with no stops between Middle Street and Downtown/UH. Run the buses one way in the morning up to noon and the other way in the afternoon/evening. If we can keep the UH bus on the freeway and not have to wind its way thru street traffic, even better!
If the buses don't fit, then run the train to Middle Street but have the buses run to Downtown/UH with no stops between Middle Street and Downtown/UH.
