[TexasDART 2]

Hey guys, I decided to kill some time on a beautiful afternoon here in Dallas. Here are some shots, and I will put up a video thread once I get them uploaded on YouTube. Let me know what you guys think!

 

51 Northbound Walnut Hill to Midway & Killion. This is one of the NABI buses that is usually seen doing express work during the week.

 

Typical DART Bus stop sign.

 

51 Southbound Downtown Dallas arriving at Walnut Hill & Coppedge stop.

 

Inside the typical DART NovaBus.

 

Front and back of the Premium Day Pass. It is $5.00, but will allow you to use everything in the DART system, The-T (Fort Worth), and the TRE (Trinity Railway Express) which links Downtown Dallas and Downtown Fort Worth.

 

51 Bus Route Pamphlet. (Front, back)

 

Cityplace stop where you get of the 51 and head down to the light rail subway platform.

 

Heading down into Cityplace.

 

Typical DART Rail schedule sign that you will see at all the stations.

 

DART Rail System map showing the Red Line, Blue Line, TRE Line, and Future expansion which will become the Green Line (Northwest Dallas - Southeast Dallas), and the Orange Line (which splits off of the Green Line and heads out to DFW-North).

 

Artwork near the platforms at Cityplace.

 

Cityplace Southbound platform.

 

West End Station.

 

Reunion Tower across from Union Station and the platforms, in West Downtown Dallas.

 

Union Station.

 

Information board inside the upper-level of the TRE railcar.

 

Free Material!

 

Hyatt Regency next to Reunion Tower. If you ever watched the show Dallas, then this is the same building in the beginning of the credits for the show.

 

The-T Bus at ITC (Intermodal Transit Center) in Downtown Fort Worth. This is The-T's biggest hub. Just about everything runs through here.

 

TRE Train at ITC.

Thanks guys, I will get some more for you guys. I have a couple of trips coming up and I am planning on taking the cross-town bus routes (labeled 400 and above) out to DFW, and then I will get some shots of the shuttle buses and our automated Skylink system.

Interesting, reminds me of Newark in that it has several rail/light rail & bus connections.
