Dallas Area Rapid Transits (DART) Silver Line began passenger service on Oct. 25. The Silver Line spans over 25 miles and connects Plano, Richardson, Dallas, Addison, Carrollton, Coppell and Grapevine, Texas, as well as DFW International Airport. The passenger rail features Stadler trains, fully accessible stations and direct transfers to light rail, bus routes and DFW terminals. DART notes the trains feature comfortable seating, bicycle racks, overhead luggage racks, USB phone chargers and ADA-compliant boarding. 
The Silver Line is a centerpiece of our Point B vision to make DART your first-in-mind mobility partner, said DART President and CEO Nadine Lee. By connecting key employment centers, neighborhoods and the worlds third-busiest airport, this project will be a catalyst for economic growth, provide access to opportunity and a seamless mobility experience that helps our region thrive.
