Intra-Terminal: An above ground train called TerminaLink connects Terminals B, C, D, E and the International
Arrivals Building (IAB)
for those with connecting flights in different terminals and provides sterile airside connections. This allows passengers
to travel within the airport without having to re-enter security. TerminaLink has three stops: Terminal B, Terminal C,
and Terminals D/E including the IAB. Currently the airport is expanding the line to Terminal A at a cost of US $100
million. Construction began in early 2008.
An underground inter-terminal train outside of the sterile zone connects all five terminals and the airport hotel which
can be accessed by all. This system is based on the WEDway PeopleMover technology.
In addition to train service a bus-shuttle service is offered from Terminal A to Terminals B, and C. This allows
passengers needing to travel to/from Terminal A to access other terminals without having to leave the sterile zone.
Bus: The Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County, Texas, or METRO, offers bus service available at the
south side of Terminal C. The 102 Bush IAH Express and the METRO Airport Direct serve the airport.
Courtesy vans: Courtesy vans are operated by various hotels and motels in and around the Houston Area. There
are courtesy telephones in the baggage claim areas to request pick-up for most hotels and motels.
Shuttle service: Regularly scheduled bus and shuttle service is provided by various carriers to locations from IAH
to Reliant Park/Reliant Astrodome, Downtown Houston, the Galleria, Greenway Plaza, the Texas Medical Center, Westside
hotels, the city of College Station and William P. Hobby Airport. Super Shuttle also provides service from George
Bush Intercontinental Airport to the surrounding communities via shared vans.
Taxis: Taxis can be hailed through the Ground Transportation employees outside each terminal. All destinations
within Houston's city limits to/from Bush Intercontinental Airport are charged according to the flat Zone Rate or
the meter rate.
