Buses Replacing Trains From Kiest to Ledbetter Over August 27 Weekend

DART buses will replace Blue Line trains between Kiest, VA Medical Center and Ledbetter stations, on Saturday and Sunday, August 27-28, 2016, as critical work on the overhead power lines enters its final phase.

Shuttle buses will meet trains arriving at Kiest Station and continue south to serve VA Medical Center and Ledbetter stations; these buses will board and unload at the red bus stops at each station.

In the interest of passenger safety, parking at Ledbetter Station will again be suspended.

We appreciate your patience as we prepare for the extension of Blue Line service to Camp Wisdom and UNT Dallas stations on October 24, 2016.
