@METROHouston Hero Operator. ❤️
In a moment when every second mattered, one METRO operator didn't hesitate. After witnessing an accident, Operator Kamran Malik stepped in to help, putting compassion into action when someone needed it most. Hear his story and what went through his mind in those critical moments.

Read more about how @GRBCC's expansion project is driving growth downtown. 👇 bit.ly/4hdwaEV
This vision started years ago when, as a State Senator, I helped pass legislation that created the Sports Authority and funded Houston’s ballparks. We knew the impact major facilities can have on our economy.
