UH–Downtown is a station on the METRORail Red Line in Houston, Texas, United States. It is the former northern terminus of the Red Line, since the line was extended in late 2013. The station is located on top of the Main Street viaduct at the campus of the University of Houston–Downtown.
This station is located on top of the Main Street viaduct. Due to space limitations, it has an extremely narrow platform. As a result, the ticket vending machines are located on the property of the University of Houston–Downtown.
Bus connections
A bus stop is located just north of the platform. Connecting bus routes are:
- 51 Hardy-Kelly
- 52 Hardy-Ley
