The Wave is a locally owned, private, officially permitted “jitney” shuttle company created to enhance the entertainment districts develop while helping to improve public safety, enhance residential and business development, and improve quality of life within the City of Houston.
The first Wave launched in the Washington Corridor in November 2009, and quickly expanded to Houston's other entertainment districts and locations. The shuttles are high-quality, and operate on a fixed route, with fixed rates helping to connect people and places.
The Wave makes getting around popular cultural, entertainment, residential and business destinations easy, affordable, safe, and fun. The growing fleet of shuttles and free parking at the southwest corner of Houston Avenue & Memorial Avenue in Lot H & 230 TC Jester are just the beginning. We are here to take the stress of parking, traffic, drinking & driving, and expense out of the equation. We add back into the equation some excitement, fun, coordination, and safety. The Wave is on a mission to change Houstonian’s transportation options.
Our drivers are permitted by the City of Houston and have gone through FBI clearance, municipal court clearance, a physical, a drug screen, area training, and defensive driving presentations. Then they go through rigorous traning in making public transportation fun, and they are quite the bunch of area experts these days.
