DART MAKES DISCOVERING
NORTH TEXAS EASIER
D
allas Area Rapid Transit
(DART) has recently intro-
duced several new products
and services designed to
help North Texans get where
they want and need to go, whether it’s
for work, school or fun.
GoPass ® Tap Gives
Cash Customers Convenience
DART’s new GoPass Tap card is a re-
loadable transit card that improves the
way you pay and ride. The card works
on all DART buses and trains. You simply
tap your card at the card reader before
you board, and the system deducts the
correct fare. You can purchase or add
value to your GoPass Tap card account
with cash or credit at hundreds of retail
locations, online at GoPass.org or by
calling 214-979-1111. There is no acti-
vation fee or purchase fee for the card,
however, there is an initial $6 minimum
load that can be used immediately for fare payment.
With a GoPass ® Tap card, you will never spend more than
the total cost of a Day Pass in a single day. By registering
your card, you will never pay more than a Monthly Pass in
a calendar month. Keep riding and keep saving without the
upfront cost and commitment.
Enhanced GoPass ® app offers more features
Earlier this year, DART rolled out a more robust version
of its GoPass mobile ticketing application. A major new
feature is the cash-to-mobile option for buying tickets. Cash
to mobile enables you to add value onto your GoPass app
using cash at hundreds of DFW-area retail locations. Any
funds you load are held in a digital wallet within the app,
and you can use the funds to purchase tickets for DART,
Trinity Railway Express, Trinity Metro or Denton County
Transportation Authority.
The enhanced app also offers more robust travel tools, in-
cluding real-time trip planning. Monthly fare capping also
is available in the app.
To learn more about GoPass Tap or GoPass app, visit www.
GoPass.org.
GoLink: On-demand service improves mobility
DART’s GoLink service provides flexible transportation ser-
vices, giving customers personalized curb-to-curb service.
GoLink currently is available in Plano, Rowlett and southern
Dallas.
You can request a GoLink ride through the TapRide mo-
bile app and track the location of the shuttle, like you
can with private ride-sharing services. In early 2019,
you will be able to schedule GoLink trips in the GoPass
mobile app.
You can find information on GoLink at www.DART.org/golink.
You also can call DART Customer Service for questions
about any of these new products and services at 214-
979-1111.
