DART Adding Rail Service For State Fair

DALLAS (AP) - Dallas Area Rapid Transit has announced additional rail service in preparation for the State Fair of Texas, which opens on September 26.

Expanded DART rail service begins on Monday and runs through Sunday, October 19, which is the final day of the annual expo at Fair Park.

DART plans special rail schedules for Saturday, October 11, which features the Texas vs. Oklahoma football game at Cotton Bowl Stadium.

The Trinity Railway Express will also operate special weekend service during the State Fair of Texas.

DART and State Fair of Texas officials said that hundreds of thousands of riders have used the GoPass app to buy and display transit passes. This year, fairgoers can also buy their general admission tickets with the same app.
