Trinity Metro TEXRail will be celebrating its fourth anniversary on Jan. 10, and customers can join in the fun with free rides on the commuter rail line – plus enjoy fun events and a new schedule enhancement. The free rides begin Jan. 10, and run through Jan. 16, on TEXRail and also on ZIPZONE rides that connect to a TEXRail station.
To commemorate TEXRail’s anniversary, Trinity Metro staff will hand out giveaways during the peak commuting time from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Tuesday at Fort Worth Central Station, North Richland Hills/Iron Horse Station and Grapevine/Main Street Station. Passengers have the opportunity to collect a goody bag and enjoy some musical entertainment before or after their trip.
“This is a tremendous time to come out and ride the rails,” said President and CEO Richard Andreski. “TEXRail ridership is growing every month, and this is the perfect time for anyone who hasn’t ridden yet to come out and give it a try. With free rides throughout the Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend, everyone will have a full week to ride TEXRail for free.”
Schedule improvement
Beginning Jan. 10, TEXRail will adjust the 7:10 p.m. train from DFW Airport Terminal B Station, so it runs the full route back to Fort Worth T&P Station. Currently, it ends at Mercantile Center Station.
“Our customers have been asking for this change, and we’re delighted to make it happen,” said vice president of Rail Jon-Erik “AJ” Arjanen. “We listened to their feedback, and we know this will be a great adjustment to help passengers trying to get back to Fort Worth.”
