Riding DART is about a shared experience. It’s about bringing people together and creating a community on wheels. It’s about discovering

new places, new experiences and new ideas. As you journey, always be safe, respectful and courteous.

Every bus, every train, every station and every stop is yours and mine to share. Enjoy the ride.
