DART Extends Free Rides Program Into February

Free rides were supposed to end Jan. 30 but will now be extended for all riders until Sunday, Feb. 6

Dallas Area Rapid Transit says they're extending the free ride program for the New Bus Network through Feb. 6.

DART will also offer 50% off full-fare rides purchased with any contactless payment option from Feb. 7 until the end of service on Feb. 21.

The free rides were offered this week as the transit system launched a total redesign of bus routes. Many bus stops changed locations or closed and some routes were eliminated, affecting riders across all 13 DART cities.

The free rides were offered to help ease the transition.

Passengers losing bus service can now use DART's newly expanded GoLink program, curb-to-curb transit using smaller DART vehicles, taxis and Uber. GoLink riders may travel to any destination within their designated zone or to a DART rail or bus transfer station.

Shattles said GoLink can be arranged online or by calling 214-515-7272.
