The Uptown/Gold Line (according to Go METRORail) is a planned 4.7 mi (8 km) METRORail light rail route that will be designed constructed and operated by METRO in Houston Texas. Due to lack of funds it was announced in early 2013 that the Uptown/Gold Line will be constructed initially as a bus rapid transit line. The design will feature the ability to easily convert the line to light rail in the future. This will allow the line to be functional as early as 2017.
