Just a Text Away

The latest bus information is just a text message away with DART 41411.

Customers can find out when the next bus or train is scheduled to arrive at their stop by knowing the stop ID. The stop ID is created for each bus and train stop. For example, if the stop ID number is 28076, text DART 28076 to 41411. Make sure a space follows the stop ID number.

DART posts the unique stop ID number created for each bus and rail stop on the front of the bus stop sign. The stop ID number can also help customers who call the Information Center at 214-979-1111 and use the new automated information line. DART text message service is free, but customers are responsible for any charges based on their call plan.
