How does GoLink Work?

It’s easy to get moving with GoLink. This is how you book and pay for trips.

Two Ways to Book a GoLink Trip

With the GoPass App

Select “Plan” within the app and enter your current location and desired destination. If GoLink is available for your trip, it will show as an option in your planning results.
Choose GoLink to proceed with your booking.

By calling 214-515-7272

Inland Port Connect Zone customers should call 877-631-5278

Reservations are accepted from 4 a.m. – midnight daily.
Only same-day trips are accepted.

Two Ways to Pay for a GoLink Trip

Your GoLink trip is covered by a valid contactless DART fare purchased using one of these forms of payment:

Credit or Debit card

A simple and secure way to purchase your DART fare is with your contactless credit or debit card. Simply use your payment-enabled mobile device to tap and pay.

GoPass Tap card

To receive the best fare, use the GoPass app or a GoPass Tap card. You can link your GoPass Tap card to your GoPass account in the app. When paying with a GoPass Tap card, each rider must have their own card.

GoLink does not accept cash fares, paper passes, or vouchers on board. Riders that book with a credit or debit card with a GoLink reservationist will be issued a GoLink one-way fare.

To learn about available fare types, please visit DART.org/fares.

How can you get started with GoLink?

Here are a couple of examples to explain how the service works.

With the GoPass® app

Anthony needs a ride to the DART Rail station located within his GoLink zone. His train is scheduled to depart in 27 minutes. Using the trip-planning feature in the GoPass app, he sees that a GoLink vehicle can drop him off at the station in 18 minutes. His fare would already be covered by the day pass he purchased in the app earlier that day, so he’s all set and ready to make his connection.

Over the Phone

Maria wants to meet her friend for lunch, but she needs a ride from her apartment. Since she does not have the GoPass app, she calls call214-515-7272 to book her trip and purchase her DART fare over the phone. The DART representative tells her she can pay with a credit card, a debit card or a GoPass Tap card. Maria chooses to pay with her GoPass Tap card, and the representative informs her that a GoLink vehicle will arrive in 14 minutes.
