Fast, Easy, Convenient!

Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is the Dallas area’s regional transit system. DART is also the best way to get to downtown Dallas for the Dallas Holiday Parade. The agency’s rail stations and bus stops get you within blocks of the parade route.

DART trains and buses operate daily from approximately 5 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week.

Trip Planning:

To plan your journey, use the “Plan” tool in the GoPass app, visit DART.org, call DART Customer Service at 214-979-1111, or use the Transit option in Google Maps.

You can look up train and bus schedules at DART.org/schedules.

Purchasing DART Passes

We recommend that you buy a DART Day Pass, which is valid for unlimited rides on the date of purchase. Adult, Child, and Senior passes are available. Here are three ways to buy your DART pass:

· GoPass mobile app – Download the “DART GoPass” app for FREE in the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
 

· Contactless Payment – Hold your contactless credit or debit card, or your payment-enabled mobile device, up to any GoPass® Tap reader every time you board. Each person must use a different, unique contactless debit/credit card or payment-enabled mobile device because that card or device is your “ticket.” The system will automatically select the best fare but only charges Local Adult fares.
 

· Ticket Vending Machines – Located on DART Rail platforms, TVMs sell Day Passes and AM/PM Passes and accept cash and debit/credit cards.

Learn more about all of DART’s tickets, passes, and payment options at DART.org/fares and GoPass.org.
