Location

Wheeler Station is a station on the METRO Red Line in Houston. The station is located at the intersection of Main Street and Wheeler Street in Midtown.

This station will also be a transfer station for the METRORapid University Line, when it is built.

Prior to the construction of the METRORail Purple Line, Wheeler Station was the only station in the system that had platforms that faced each other. UH South/University Oaks station became the second station to implement this platform configuration.
