An update to the
Dallas Area Rapid
Transit part.
DART member cities consist of: Addison, Carrollton, Cockrell Hill, Dallas, Farmers Branch, Garland, Glenn Heights, Highland Park, University Park, Irving, Richardson, Rowlett, and Plano.
DART provides buses, light rail, commuter rail, HOV lanes, paratransit and vanpools.
The commuter rail line (the Trinity Railway Express) provides a connection to Fort Worth and DFW Airport.
The fare structure is simple. If you are going to only need one bus or train, you pay the regular fare. If you need to transfer, you should buy a day pass.
Reduced: Students, Disabled, Senior Citizens 50 cents regular fare, $1.00 for a day pass.
Local: $1.00 regular fare, $2.00 for a day pass.
Premium: Express buses which take you from one transit center to another via an interstate, with minimal stops, or if you cross county lines: $2.00 regular fare, $4.00 for a day pass.
Some information taken from dart.org, but most from my memory, since I have to ride DART almost everyday.
