Due to this multimodal system, commuters can move from trains to buses to flights with ease, enabling a seamless regional travel experience. All the stations are fully accessible, in alignment with DART’s mission of accessible mobility for everyone.

Stadler constructed the Silver Line trains with efficiency and comfort in mind. The vehicles include USB charging, luggage storage, and bike storage. It makes travel feasible for commuters as well as casual travelers. As the line passes close by large swathes of employments, it is likely to appeal to workers and students who need dependable, low-pollution transport.

DART Silver Line Boosts Sustainability and Accessibility

The Silver Line is in service from 4 a.m. until 1 a.m., with service at all peak hour times of 30 minutes and off-peak times of 60 minutes. It allows for easy travel for early morning commuters as well as night owls. It also links into North Texas’ expanding trail system, providing citizens with bike and walk modes of travel that aim for a healthier lifestyle.

DART President and Chief Executive Nadine Lee referred to the Silver Line as a “centerpiece of our Point B Vision” that would make DART the region’s preferred mobility partner. She added that connecting the neighborhoods, centers of job, and world’s busiest after Beijing Airport would give impetus to the region’s economic development as well as community development.

To mark the launch, DART is providing complimentary service on the Silver Line from October 25 through November 8. This promotional window is an open invitation for the public to experience the new service and taste for themselves the advantages it offers.
