DART all day for less than a gallon of gas;
All month for less than a tank!

Take DART Rail, DART buses or TRE twice a day for gas relief adSkyrocketing gas prices are driving more North Texas commuters to choose a $2.50 DART Day Pass over the family car. For the six months ending March 31, weekday ridership on DART's bus and rail services is up 10.6% to 218,924 -- nearly 21,000 more riders a day!

Calculate your savings
A Local Day Pass costs $2.50 and a Premium Day Pass - good for unlimited rides on DART, the TRE train linking Dallas and Fort Worth, and the Fort Worth T - goes for just $4.50. With gas prices hovering at $3 a gallon, it's easy to see how riding public transit can add up to big savings. Monthly passes -- $40 for Local or $70 for Premium -- save even more.
