DART to return nine major bus routes to regular operating service frequency Dec. 12

Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) will return nine major bus routes to regular operating service frequency on Dec. 12.

In June, to provide service dependability for riders, DART implemented a five-minute service frequency reduction on 31 bus routes due to the nationwide shortage of bus operators. Thanks to an aggressive operator hiring initiative by the agency, DART is returning nine bus routes to regular service ahead of schedule.

 Bus route frequency adjustments

Fifteen-minute peak and 20-minute midday service will resume on the following routes:

• DART Bus Route 13 Ervay
• DART Bus Route 15 Buckner
• DART Bus Route 16 Ferguson
• DART Bus Route 17 Skillman
• DART Bus Route 18 Samuell
• DART Bus Route 20 Northwest Highway
• DART Bus Route 22 Forest Lane
• DART Bus Route 38 Ledbetter
• DART Bus Route 57 Westmoreland

DART plans to return the remaining 22 bus routes to regular service frequency on Jan. 23, 2023.

Bus bay changes

To improve schedule efficiency and provide more direct service, DART Bus Route 13 will serve Hatcher Station in both directions from stops on Elsie Faye Heggins Street. Route 13 will no longer use the triangular routing over Lagow and Robert L. Parish streets to enter the station on Scyene Road.
