What the Drive Actually Looks Like

The route from City Park Central Lane toward the TMC runs north. The drive doesn't require highway merges that back up during shift changes. Early morning departures for 6 or 7 a.m. shifts typically move faster than mid-morning, and the same applies to evening departures after 7 p.m.

For the Pearland campuses, the drive runs south and stays off major highways entirely at those distances. Eight minutes is eight minutes — it's not subject to the same variability as a freeway run.
