You can easily buy tickets from the…read moremachine, though give yourself a little time to figure it out (first time I arrived it took me a stressful three minutes). This is the closest stop to the Toyota Music Factory, the Irving Convention Center, the Los Colinas apartments, the deceptively named Marriot Dallas Los Colinas, and an easy walk once you learn to look at a real map instead of following Google Maps walking. There's an overpriced convenience store right by the station. In fact everything around this station is very overpriced, so it's a useful station if you're staying in one of the nearby hotels. DART is so affordable, get a day pass to get to the museum district in Dallas, and along the Orange line there are many much more affordable better restaurants than in and around the hotels. Also, this is the way to get to and from the airport though no locals, hospitality workers, or travel guides seem to know about it. From here, right into Terminal A, no hassle at all for a fraction of the Uber price.

You are about to get on a train, your ride time may be another 30 minutes, min, to a station with a restroom (West End Station has a restroom, and a McDonald's with a restroom). Now I can understand why no vending machines, as we are not to eat on DART (Yeah right!), but how about a water fountain at least? Well maybe that's not a good idea since there are no restrooms. Bottom line: You have been warned.

After dropping off the truck we rented from the uhaul on Harry Hines, we walked to buckman station…read moreto come home. While at buckman station a man comes to the side where my son and I were sitting. He was beyond pissed off. Making the motion as if he wanted to hit the brick wall. More then once. There was a dart Officer there. She saw him. She then gets up and walks to the other side of that wall that divides the seats. As if to say well I didn't see him. Aren't they suppose to "address" that sort of anger displayed by people? I felt as if we were in danger. And she just turned her back. What the fuck is she getting paid for? To look pretty! I searched my purse for the pepper spray. I also carry a stunt gun should I need it. I am a security guard. I would have gone up to him at least to try and calm him down. So as not to give him the chance to take it out on anyone there. But she went to hide. I kept looking for her, I couldn't see her around anymore. How fucking disappointing from Dart. I hope to purchase an automobile so we can minimize the dangers from people who get "that" angry! Thx for having your patrions backs dar Dart is pure BULLSHIT!

This stop is on the way to downtown Dallas. You can get off and catch a different one for deep ellum and mockingbird station. If you're not a student, you can take this to anywhere. It's one of the better stops IMO. There's art works and a charging station. Please buy a ticket! you will get a $50 ticket if they catch you. Yeah keep thinking they'll never catch you. All my friends got tickets at different point of their lives. They all tried to pass as college students. They are for sure not in college anymore. They failed to show a recent college ID so they were fined. Cheapos...I need new friends. LOL

This stop is well lit and has plenty of parking. It also has busses that run to the airport. Even better, the prices have recently dropped making it a more cost effective option. If you are seeing a game or show at the AAC, there is no better way to get there. Also your pass will allow you to ride on the light rails, if the main stops aren't close enough to your destination.

He's earned a special treat for the awards in school. We bought the tickets for a day pass. Luckily I had cash because the booth was not accepting any other form of payment. Everything was copacetic until the return trip and it brought back memories when I rode the bus in the greater Los Angeles area. Waaaay back, when it was the RTD (now the MTA). My friends & I called it Rough, Tough & Dirty because.....it was. Milo was oblivious to the cab surroundings, just looking out & enjoying the ride. All the while I was not breathing through my nose, trying not to touch anything. Folks, I felt like I needed a nice, long cleansing/disinfecting shower thereafter. Thankfully we were not accosted. Our journey lasted about a good 10-12 minutes. As long as Milo was a happy camper, our journey was complete. The wait for each way didn't take more than 10 minutes in total.

Fortunately these days we have a decent mass transit system in the Dallas area and most of the big metro areas like Houston. However, Texas is a car culture on steroids and I'll admit I don't use mass transit that often. Usually when I do it's to travel to the State Fair close to downtown(highly recommended). I can say from experience after riding the system many times, it works, I'm glad we have it and hope its expansion continues. Until then, ill continue using Parker Station to hop on the train.
