Quickline (also known as Signature Service) was a bus rapid transit (BRT) service operated by the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (METRO). Launched in 2009, Quickline provides supplementary service to high-use METRO bus routes, featuring improved buses and stations, fewer stops, and signal priority for improved efficiency. It was one of two BRT services operated by METRO, the other being the METRORapid Silver Line. It ended service on February 20, 2026 due to low ridership.
Quickline consisted of one route, Bellaire Quickline (also known as 402 or QL2), which supplemented Route 2 and served a 9-mile (14 km) stretch of Bellaire Boulevard from Texas Medical Center to Chinatown on weekdays. Quickline service on other high-use routes had been proposed.
