Another public option for transportation from the DFW airport is the TRE (Trinity Railway Express) With routes both to Dallas and Ft Worth, Texas this is another economical way to get to your destination. The TRE is a partnership between DART and the T (Fort Worth's transit agency) that joins the Dallas Union Station to the Fort Worth Intermodal Transportation Center.

DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit)

The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) has evolved from a company that just ran streetcars, the Dallas Terminal Railway and Union Depot Company, to a multi-faceted transportation system that employees not only buses, but also utilizes light rail, HOV lanes, as well as a partnership with Ft Worth's transit agency to give Dallasites an economical way to travel in the DFW area. Dart even offers Vanpool service that allows up to 14 people to share the monthly cost of service collectively. Another
