Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is the public transit agency for Dallas and 12 surrounding cities. Our extensive network of DART Light Rail, Trinity Railway Express (TRE) commuter rail and bus services moves more than 220,000 passengers per day across a 700-square-mile service area. To promote ridesharing, DART also operates a system of high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes allowing carpoolers to whiz past freeway traffic jams. More than 145,000 commuters use our HOV lanes each weekday. Where can I take the bus? DART operates local and express bus routes serving Addison, Carrollton, Cockrell Hill, Dallas, Farmers Branch, Garland, Glenn Heights, Highland Park, Irving, Richardson, Rowlett, Plano and University Park. Where can I take the train? The DART Rail System provides fast, convenient service to work, shopping and entertainment destinations in Dallas, Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Garland, Plano and Richardson. Plus, our TRE commuter line links DART customers to DFW International Airport and downtown Fort Worth. Popular shopping and entertainment destinations near DART Rail stations in Dallas include NorthPark Center and Upper Greenville Avenue (Park Lane Station), West Village (Cityplace Station), Mockingbird

2 Station (Mockingbird Station), the Dallas Museum of Art (St. Paul Station), American Airlines Center (Victory Station), the entertaining West End Historic District (West End Station), Fair Park (Fair Park Station and MLK, Jr. Station), the Dallas Convention Center (Convention Center Station), and the Dallas Zoo (Dallas Zoo Station).

How much does it cost to park at a station? Free parking is available at most rail stations, and all are served by DART bus routes specially timed to make transfers between buses and trains quick and easy. Can I take a train to American Airlines Center? Whether you are headed to a concert, a Dallas Mavericks basketball game or a Dallas Stars showdown on the ice, ride DART Rail to events at American Airlines Center (AAC). Coming from Fort Worth or the Mid-Cities? The TRE is the ticket Monday through Saturday. Visit for details. Can I take a train to DFW Airport or Dallas Love Field? The TRE gets you to and from DFW International Airport for a fraction of the cost of taxi fare or long-term parking. Just take it to CentrePort/DFW Airport Station and transfer to the DFW Airport bus serving airline terminals. Airport buses meet all trains, departing every 15 minutes Monday through Saturday. There is no Sunday service. Airport bus service between the rail station and the airport terminals is free. Visit for details. When heading to DFW International Airport, Victory Station on the Red and Green Line provides your connection between DART Light Rail and the TRE commuter rail. Your link between DART Light Rail s Green and Orange Lines and the Love Field Terminal is Bus Route 39 that operates between Dallas Love Field and the Inwood/Love Field Station. Frequency of service between Inwood/Love Field Station and Love Field Airport is every 20 minutes seven days a week. Can I take a train to Fort Worth? Downtown Fort Worth is now just about an hour's ride from Union Station in downtown Dallas via the Trinity Railway Express (TRE). TRE information is available at How much does a ticket cost? DART offers three basic, one-way fares - $1.75 for Local bus and rail service; $3.50 for System service, which includes express bus service between downtown Dallas and free Park & Ride facilities in Addison, Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Glenn Heights, Irving, Plano and Rowlett; and $5.00 for Regional service, which includes all DART and The T buses, DART Rail and all TRE trains. TRE fares are in two zones: $3.50 one-way to all stops between downtown Dallas and West Irving

3 Station; $5.00 between stations in Dallas County and Tarrant County.

DART's 72-mile light rail system requires about 6.2 million kilowatt hours per month from the Texas General Land Office and Garland Power & Light to feed into the 55 mainline substations -- big boxes measuring 15 feet wide, 46 feet long and 14 feet high located at intervals of 1.5 to 1.75 miles along the line. Inside the substations, more than 13,000 volts of AC electrical power is converted into 845 volts of DC energy required to run the trains. Two additional substations are located at each of DART's Service & Inspection Facilities. The power distributed from each substation varies, depending on the number of trains in service and operating speed of rail traffic. DART is unique in having one of the few variable voltage power distribution system in North America. Each substation is polled for energy usage and voltages are varied according to energy used and energy needed. Not all substations have to be operational for the light rail system to work. In the event of loss of utility power to a substation, the system is designed to provide enough power to compensate.
