DART to/from Airports
If you are flying in or out of Dallas/Fort Worth International
Airport, DART’s DFW Airport Station is located outside of
Gate A-10 and is served by the Orange Line. Both the Green
and Orange Line, combined with Love Link Bus Route 542,
get you to Dallas Love Field.
Taking luggage on DART is easy – the center car of every
DART Rail vehicle has a low-floor section that offers level
boarding with the rail platform. DART’s buses also have
low-floor sections equipped with ramps that deploy for level
boarding from the curb.
DART to Arts & Culture
If a cultural experience is what you’re after, ride any DART
Rail Line into downtown Dallas and enjoy all the Dallas Arts
District has to offer, including the Dallas Museum of Art,
DART to Historical Downtowns
What’s old is new again in the quaint downtown areas of
Carrollton, Garland and Plano. All three towns can point to
a history in rail – beginning in the 1870s for Carrollton and
Plano, and the 1880s for Garland – and each has experi-
enced a downtown resurgence thanks in part to DART.
Downtown Carrollton features locally owned restaurants and
shops. Towering above them is the North Texas Outdoor Pursuit
Center, where you can rock climb inside a former grain silo. In
downtown Garland, early 20th-century storefronts mingle with
newer additions to create an atmosphere that’s both nostalgic
and modern. Downtown Plano is a vibrant community featuring
art galleries, restaurants, unique shops and the performing arts.
For more exploration, transfer from DART Rail to the Trinity Rail-
way Express to discover Fort Worth or DCTA’s A-train to visit
Denton’s funky downtown square.
