DALLAS – Following a thorough evaluation of internal operations and public input, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) will introduce a simplified fare structure starting March 1, 2025. The updated structure is intended to offer more clarity and convenience for riders while continuing to uphold DART’s commitment to quality service.

“Our goal is to make fares more straightforward and equitable for all passengers,” said Jing Xu Assistant Vice President of Service Planning and Development for DART. “By consolidating and refining our fare products, we aim to maintain a balance between affordability and the high level of service our customers expect.”

Key Fare Changes to DART Local Fare

• Consolidated Passes: Single-ride (used on bus and GoLink), AM, PM, and Midday Passes, will be replaced with a standard 3-Hour Pass.
• Day Pass and Monthly Pass: The Day Pass price remains the same, while the Monthly Pass will increase.
• Retail Annual Pass: This option is being discontinued; however, members enrolled in the DART Corporate Annual Pass program will see no change in their rates.
• Veterans Discount: Starting on March 1, Veterans will receive a 50% discount. They can apply for a DART-issued reduced fare card (GoPass® Tap) online or in person at DARTmart, located at Akard Station, to receive discounted fare.
• Discount Program: The half-price Discount GoPass Tap card program, for those receiving benefits from qualifying agencies, is now permanent.
• Bulk Sales Discount: A new tiered discount system is available for special events, corporate pass partners, and educational institutions.
• Extended Education Institution Program: The educational institution program now includes kindergarten through fifth grade.

While most of these adjustments will begin March 1, 2025, revisions tied to calendar year programs - such as corporate annual pass program and education institution program - took effect on Jan. 1, 2025.
