DALLAS – Dallas Area Rapid Transit announced a price drop for some of its fares, along with a price increase for others.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s changing? <\/p>\n
The changes affect the Regional Day Pass and the 31-Day Regional Day Pass.<\/p>\n
Beginning on March 1, the price of a Regional Day Pass will drop from $12 to $9, which is a 25% decrease.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, riders who qualify for a reduced rate will see their rate increase from $3 to $4.50. That\u2019s because DART wants to simplify its pricing structure so that reduced rates are 50% less than the full rate.<\/p>\n
The price of a 31-Day Regional Day Pass will remain the same at $192, but the reduced rate will increase from $48 to $96.<\/p>\n
DART is also doing away with the Senior Retail Annual Pass and encouraging those riders to apply for a reduced 31-Day Regional Day Pass.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s not changing? <\/p>\n
The prices for a 3-Hour Pass, Local Day Pass, and all other services will remain the same.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s the difference between a local and a regional pass? <\/p>\n
DART\u2019s local fares include access to the Trinity Railway Express, DART Rail, and Silver Line trains, as well as DART buses, Dallas Streetcar, and GoLink services.<\/p>\n
The regional fares include all the local services plus Trinity Metro and Denton County Transportation Authority services in Tarrant and Denton counties.<\/p>\n
Who qualifies for a reduced rate? <\/p>\n
According to DART, the reduced rates are for veterans, seniors, people with disabilities, Medicare cardholders, and qualifying students.<\/p>\n
