Service Improvements New commuter rail service on the Trinity Railway Express is the featured attraction of DART's September service improvement program. Travel time will be approximately 45 minutes from Union Station to Richland Hills. Fares include free transfers to connecting Fort Worth T and DART services. To introduce the new destinations, all Trinity Railway Express trips are free from September 18 to 30.
Service opens next year to two more stations in downtown Fort Worth.
DART inaugurated a 10-mile commuter rail line between Dallas and Irving in December 1996. More than 2,300 people ride the Trinity Railway Express each weekday. Shuttle buses meet all trains, departing every 25 minutes during weekday rush hours and hourly during midday. On Saturdays, shuttles meet trains hourly during midday and evening periods. The shuttle is free to anyone presenting a valid Trinity Railway Express ticket or pass.
