DART D.A.R.T. / Other Trains Review

The Dart (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) system is an easy and efficient service to use. The light rail covers 34 stations. Ticket Vending Machines (TVMs) are located on the platforms at all rail stations. You can also buy DART tickets at Minyard Food Stores and Albertsons. Single-ride tickets and Day Passes purchased from TVMs are already time/date stamped and ready to use. All other rail tickets must be time/date stamped before boarding by inserting them in the Validator machine located at each rail station. Failing to validate your ticket is grounds for a citation and fine.

The website has information on maps, fares etc.

T.R.E.

The TRE (Trinity Railway Express) links downtown Fort Worth, downtown Dallas and DFW Airport. Scheduled train service is provided Monday through Saturday.
Tickets are obtained from vending machines on the platform before you board the train.

Travelled on this train on a return journey Dallas to Fort Worth and also used it from Downtown Dallas to the airport. The train was a double decker and we sat upstairs, great novelty! Was impressed with how clean and comfortable the train was. Very modern and efficient service and cheap too!

When you arrive at the airport stop there is a short ride on a shuttle bus to the terminal. When you arrive at Fort Worth there is a trolley bus to Sundance Square and the Stockyards area.
