Getting around Dallas–Fort Worth, TX without a car: where do I start with public transit?

Dallas–Fort Worth is a large area. Different public transit agencies serve different parts of it, so first find out which agency serves the places you need to go.

1. In the Dallas area, look at DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit). Its official site is where you find system maps, plan a trip and check current fares [1]. 2. In Fort Worth or elsewhere in Tarrant County, look at Trinity Metro, the public transit agency for Tarrant County. Use its site for maps, trip planning and fare information [2]. 3. In Denton County, look at DCTA (Denton County Transportation Authority). Its site has its own maps, trip planning and fares [3]. 4. If your trip goes from one county to another, check the site of each agency you will use. Each site explains how its service works and how to pay [1][2][3]. 5. Before you leave, check the service alerts on the agency's site. Service can change, so a quick look can save you a long wait [1][2][3].

Fares and schedules change. Do not rely on what someone remembers. Always check the official site for current details [1][2][3]. If you are not sure where to begin, start with the agency site for the area where you live. Use its trip planning tools to look up your trip [1][2][3].
