Metro ordering more Siemens vehicles.

https://www.railjournal.com/regions/north-america/houston-orders-14-siemens-lrvs/ 

This order might cause some criticisms since 2018 November 2018 compared to 2017 ridership down 10%.  However the system did have one day shutdown and 2 less special events that depressed ridership.  One weekday shutdown would depress ridership about 5% and special events ???
