DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News) – DART riders can expect to see some major changes in the agency’s services in a few weeks.
Dallas Area Rapid Transit said it will increase services in bus, rail and GoLink service starting October 19th to keep up with demand as the North Texas economy slowly reopens amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a statement, the agency said it will restore service on several routes and improve frequencies on others to just under 90 percent of pre-pandemic levels.
On weekdays until 7 p.m., seven higher volume bus routes and light rail service will offer 20-minute frequency and 30-minute frequency thereafter. Weekend services will stay the same.
The recently debuted Western Carrollton GoLink service will become permanent and low ridership routes 27,42,155, 210, 211, 385, 585, 840 and 887 will be discontinued, modified or replaced.
The Trinity Railway Express and 65 routes with higher ridership and potential for social distancing concerns will return to pre-pandemic service levels.
48 routes in the system will remain on their current modified schedules.
