Texas Public Transport: Overview of DART Buses and Trains in Dallas
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- Checking out the public transport system in Dallas, TX, including the system map, prices, and general station amenities. I even compare travel time to a car. This is the DART station in Trinity Mills in Carrollton, TX. My recommendation is if you want to rely on DART to get around, you should either:
1. Live in (or near) Downtown Dallas.
2. Commute to Downtown Dallas from a nearby station.

I'm really hoping they extend the transit system all across TX since my son has epilepsy and doesn't drive. It's something many others struggle with I sure.
I know they're doing Plano to Carrollton extension. Rail system crossing the 3 major cities (Houston, Dallas) is in speculation and might be coming.
Yes Another video!
Thanks for making this...For alot of people it can get confusing especially regionaly.
Keep up the good vids
Thank you!
Great video Edward!
DART is also building a new Rail-Line from Plano to DFW airport.
It's called the DART silver Line.
I like the fact that on the DART Redline you can go from Plano to Uptown.
There's a Subway in Uptown Dallas called Uptown/CityPlace station.
Also DART is building a Second Subway system downtown Dallas.
Keep the good videos coming.
Glad to hear about a Plano to DFW line. It’s definitely needed. These are great points.
@@EdwardInTX yes very much...It would get you from downtown Plano to DFW airport in less than 30 minutes.. Construction started last month.
And also there's a Bullet Train High-speed rail being built between Dallas and Houston.
Construction begins next year.
I’m definitely looking forward to the bullet train
You beat me to it. I was about to mention the Silver line
@@WBrizzle81 they need to move the completion date from late 2022 to early or mid 2022
Dallas is also Getting a second Subway in Downtown Dallas and and New Rail-Line called the DART Silver Line. It will take you from Plano to DFW airport by 2022.
It's so ironic you mentioned it too🤣🤣
Also which one is more cheaper amongst that 4?
DART
DCTA
TRE
Or TexRail?
Great video
The trick is the reach of each rail system. Short answer is TexRail is cheapest, but DART has a wide reach.
1. DART is dallas area as shown in the video, $6 day pass, $3 one way
2. DCTA is north dallas area (specifically denton). $3 one way, up to $480 annually dcta-website.myshopify.com/
3. TRE is east to west from fort worth to dallas through airport. $5 pass, $2.50 one way. trinityrailwayexpress.org/fare-zones/
4. TexRail is downtown fort worth to airport via NRH. $5 day, $2.50 one way. dfwairport.com/texrail/index.php
@@EdwardInTX great info thanks.
I used to live close to the RedLine in richardson now I live Close to the green Line in Carrollton area.
These are very reliable.. With reliable pricing as well.
DART gives the most milage per dollar with the four lines and buses. DCTA is limited to Denton County and is much slower.
What’s the second subway?
Planning on moving to Garland soon bus stop right outside the neighborhood so I'll probably be using the bus and train often especially considering how bad traffic can be
Sounds great!
Nice! Thanks for sharing this 👍
This dart green line station is 2010 replacement of north Carrollton transit center and route numbers are: 534 and 536.
DART is absolutely terrible. When I was working at a temp job for a few months, I luckily lived on the blue line on the last suburb stop and my job was on the orange. The price is also outrageous! In my new country, I'm spending pennies on the dollar to get twice as far, twice as fast.
Good info
thank you for covering this
Please do a flight review on your next pls
Will do
Very helpful! Thanks.
Dallas really needs an circle line further from the city to speed up trips that don't want to go downtown, silver line will do that for the north of the system.
It hurt me physically when you called the tre the "blue line."
Why, when that's what it's called?
Same Here
Can someone please tell me how good is the DART system? I'm planning to move to Dallas soon and unfortunately I don't drive, thanks
As long as you live close to a station, it's on time usually. Take a look at the map and use google maps to get an idea. University Park to downtown area is more urban and has more stops.
If you don’t drive don’t move to Texas. It’s a very car dependent state. I know Houston and Dallas are in the process of making light rails but I would wait a few years for the public transit to get a little better
I think is a good way if want go to downtown while parking in Downtown waste $5-10/hour
Wednesday morning @ 8 and it's a ghost town. Hardly anyone on the trains. Ridership has been dropping, with COVID - plummeting (this was shot before COVID). If you are already downtown why not use micro-mobility (which I don't see available in this video) for those short trips? When uber shared robo taxis are soon everywhere, this will be a museum grade antique.
Ye man..👍 great. Keep it up☺.
Thank you!
Trust me bro I would take Dallas over NYC any day of the week!
I'm from NYC and I think I agree lol
@@AnimsOnDemand Yes Way Cheaper,And Bigger by Size.
@@chrishampson597Why is the state size a factor? lol
@@greglott4977 state size?
The problem with centralizing rail in Downtown Dallas is the majority of the Metroplex has no reason to go downtown Dallas. Dallas is not a typical centralized city like Atlanta or Houston.
I agree.
Well I could agree and disagree...I agree cause the only time you see people downtown is when they are at work,or Taking a train or what not...so not much people go downtown because not much to do there for now.
But I disagree because I think Dallas is very centralized..I mean for starts it is the anchor of the Metroplex.
And we'll..at one point it was centralized but not anymore..but luckily More and more expansion is happening towards the end south which will make it more centralized...and also they are building a New Subway system downtown..which will boost it
What's a good neighbor Hood to stay on the rail way
That "Buckner Train" at the 4:19 is actually a North Carrolton/Frankford train but the rollboards are already set for Buckner.
You’re a bit late, but thanks for correcting me.
Does Dart have a reusable fare card that can loaded with stored value like LA's MTA offers
@Tr3y5 BigTone the GoPass tap 💳 sounds just like the LA Metro tap card.LAMTC is valid on all metro 🚌 s and light rail 🚄 s, and local municipal bus lines like Santa Monica Big Blue 🚌, Culver Citybus Montebello , Torrance Transit and others. Discount Tap cards ate available for senior citizens, K-12 and College students , veterans I think , people with disabilities jurors even get one whether they're picked for a jury or not for superior court cases. Day passes and transfers are sold on the card, they cost $2 plus the amount you load onto it. We also have a regional train service throughout Southern California. LA, Orange, Ventura. Riverside and San Bernardino counties, and TAP isn't valid on Metrolink. Metrolink trains and the Metro Red and Gold lines go to Union station. Metro.net is metro's website, all transit info can be seen there
@Tr3y5 BigTone Yes Santa Monica and Torrance are cities of 100000 or more , they've always had their own bus lines
@Tr3y5 BigTone A little over 1/2 a dozen municipal bus systems throughout LA County that all connect throughout the county with Metro
@Tr3y5 BigTone We have Dash here, it's provided by the City's dept of Transportation, Dash costs .25¢ a ride,MTA base fare is 1.75
I never tried the daypass. How this works?
Are the parking lots free if you using the train ?
It's hit or miss. Give this list a look. www.dart.org/maps/locationslist.asp#NoParking
How do you know which side to wait for the train
Each side will have a direction. One will say something like "Dallas," one will say "Denton." If you have google maps, it shows you which is the end of the line. That is the side you stand on.
Is it in dallas
Uno quiere trasporte en la manana Para ir trabajar y no ay autobuses llega uno tarde a alos trabajos
These busses are utterly unrealiable.
First of all ,the rail needs to be policed more often. No one on that I see don't wear a mask hardly. Going through downtown they are sneaking in the bus and not wearing their mask like they are supposed to. Let's get busy dart.
Pros to using dart
-It gets you where you need to go.
-it's cheap
Cons to using dart.
-drivers skip stops
-almost never show up on time
-Drivers usually always in a pissy mood
-Customer service does nothing when you ca them (if you can get someone on the phone at all let alone someone with a brain)
-It's a haven for bums and drug addicts
-ALWAYS smells like piss and defecation.
-inaccurate ass bus schedules.
So yeah if you come to Dallas.. Come with a car cause dart ain't worth it.
There is alot of drug dealers there XD
You dont rude public transportation often do you? You have that element on transit systems all over the country
