The new transit line will service seven cities, including Addison, Carrollton, Coppell, Dallas, DFW Airport, Grapevine, Plano, and Richardson, and cover around 26 miles. According to CultureMap Dallas, the Stadler trains feature luggage and bike racks, ADA-compliant boarding, comfortable seating options, and USB chargers. The trains will run every day from 4 a.m. until 1 a.m. and are scheduled to arrive every half hour during peak commuting times.
CEO and DART President Nadine Lee spoke with Railway-News about the newest addition and said, “The Silver Line is a centerpiece of our Point B vision to make DART your first-in-mind mobility partner. By connecting key employment centers, neighborhoods, and the world’s third-busiest airport, this project will be a catalyst for economic growth, provide access to opportunity, and a seamless mobility experience that helps our region thrive.”

The new DFW Silver Line stops in seven cities
For those looking to try out DART’s Silver Line in Plano, two stops are operational in your area: Downtown on 12th Street, and on Shiloh Road. In Richardson, stops are made at UT Dallas and CityLine/Bush. The Silver Line also stops in North Dallas at Knoll Trail and at Addison Station. The Downtown Carrollton stop also serves as a transfer hub for those looking to head out to Fort Worth, Dallas, or Denton with ease.
Additional Silver Line stops are as follows:
- DFW Airport Terminal B

To develop each of these stations, DART collaborated with the surrounding communities to ensure they were designed with optimal accessibility and safety within the existing infrastructure.
