Like every major US city, Dallas has a very well-designed transit system. It effectively connects the entire city, making daily commutes for commuters simple and more convenient. Students can travel via Dallas Area Rapid Transit or Trinity Railway Express.
1. Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART): With 72 miles of track and about 120 bus lines, it is the most extensive light rail system in the nation and effectively moves people throughout the city. Major employment hubs in Dallas, its neighbouring suburbs, and DFW International Airport are all conveniently accessible from there. It costs roughly $2.50 for a one-way ride that accepts cash and coins.
2. Trinity Railway Express (TRE): This rail route was constructed between Dallas and Fort Worth. There are roughly ten regular station stops along the line's northwest route. It is a rapid transport system that is often closed on Sundays and is open Monday through Saturday. The cost varies depending on how far you must go to your destination. However, a one-way trip often costs $2.50, and an all-day pass costs $5.
3. Walking and bicycling: The campus has several walking paths and bike lanes, making it a pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly area. Since it's a quick and environmentally responsible method of travel, many students decide to walk or ride their bikes to class.
4. Carpooling and ride-sharing: Students can easily get a ride when needed thanks to firms like Uber and Lyft. Additionally, students frequently share trips to shared destinations by carpooling with friends or other students.
5. Electric scooters: These are common in Arlington and can be a convenient and enjoyable way to go short distances throughout the city and the university district.
