Try to NOT take taxis whenever possible! They are pretty expensive, and it can really add up if you are taking them all the time. Make sure when you book a hotel (etc.) reservation that you check on things like location to the main area you would like to be and whether the hotel offers free shuttle service. If you can get a place near where you will be spending MOST of your time, you may be able to walk there and only take a taxi a couple of times. If your hotel does offer shuttle service, find out if it is free or if they charge a fee and also how far a radius they are willing to travel from the hotel. Also, Dallas does have rapid transit, called DART. However, it is very limited in where it goes since it is pretty new. Again, just check with the place you are staying to see how far the closest DART line is and the hours it runs. Leave a Comment

 Dallas DART by iris2002
Working hard to make the going easy >>>> that's their slogan :D
If you want to explore Texas the laid back way - you gotta get on the DART (just like in Dublin (same name) it provides you with a good net to about 13 other cities ... so lean back and enjoy the ride AND safe the planet ;)
Routes to note:
From Dallas International Airport /Forthworth via the Trinity Railway Express (TRE)
And since we talkin' Texas where everything is BIG ... the service is too... so what can you get from your DART experience:
>DART takes you back to historic beginnings
> DART Music Station is back on track!
> DART Officials Step Up Rail/Bus Security En Espa?ol
> DART Security Initiatives
> Ride DART to Special Events
> DART to Shopping, Dining, Entertainment and Sporting Events

 Walking along pedestrian
walkway to Reunion Tower by grandmaR
I haven't used any of them, since I either rode with my daughter, or on the convention buses or in my rental car. Leave a Comment

Dallas does not have a great system of public transportation...things are so spread out, one would be wise to rent a vehicle. Leave a Comment

 Railroad crossing sign under
the Convention Center by grandmaR
The DART Convention Center Station is served by the downtown segment of the DART Red and Blue Rail lines. It is located on the southwest corner of Lamar Street and Memorial Drive at ground level below the Dallas Convention Center expansion. Facilities include ramps for mobility-impaired passengers and customer information. Leave a Comment

We found the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) train system to be quite handy - since we had turned our rental car in after finishing up with our Oklahoma weekend excusion. For US$2 per day, you can use the train and bus system as many times as you wish. We used it to travel to both the West End Market Place area and to the Park Lane shopping mall to the north of city centre. Leave a Comment Theme: Train
