DART Beltline Station

First time at a DART station and to be honest, ride the train bc I really haven’t kept up with the system, where it goes or how to use it. Glad a friend was in-​the-​know and turned me on to riding the rail. I think Dallas is all grown up! I’ve ridden in other cities (New York, New Jersey & Philly) and this is as easy and convenient for what they’ve built up so far. Specifically, this location has free, ample parking, is clean, credit card machines to purchase passes and trains run frequently during peek hours. Maps available on the train along with a tiny map posted near exits if want to follow that way. Wasn’t too busy on a Thursday fair day and it beat sitting in traffic both directions. Really nice to have that extra time to unwind instead of thinking of all the better things you could be doing besides looking at the back end of cars as traffic creeps through Dallas.

If you are coming from the west and heading to Dallas and don’t want to drive or park the DART is the perfect option. Sure you can ride the TRE but you can’t on Sunday and you can’t after 10 unless there is an event on AAC so your best option is the Orange line in my opinon. The station is easy to find, well lit and plenty of parking. I will use it again.

A-​OK station with plenty of free, well lit, parking. There are no facilities here, no bathrooms or vending machines. There are four ticket vending machines, two on each side of the tracks. This is the last stop on the Orange Line before the DFW station (where there is no free parking, nor free access for that matter).
