Free DART rides on New Year's Eve: What you need to know
DALLAS - Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) will operate on a modified service schedule to accommodate the upcoming Christmas and New Year’s holidays, the agency announced Thursday.
Free DART Rides
In a partnership aimed at promoting safe celebration, DART will also give away 10,500 free rides on New Year’s Eve. Riders can access the free service by using the code COORSNYE25 on the GoPass app. Download it on the Apple App Store or on the Google Play Store.
Holiday Travel Options
DART is also encouraging travelers to use its system for holiday airport transportation, noting that it offers more direct airport links than any other regional transit system in the U.S.
- DFW Airport: Travelers can reach DFW Airport North via the Silver Line and TEXRail, and Terminals A and B via the Silver Line, TEXRail, and the Orange Line.
- Love Field Airport: Access is available via the Love Link bus from the Inwood/Love Field Station on the Orange and Green lines.
A one-way ticket to either airport costs $3, which DART suggests offers significant savings compared to parking, gas, or rideshare expenses.
Specific details regarding the modified service schedule for Christmas and New Year's Day were not immediately provided by the agency.
