This Texas city has World Cup tourists"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone visiting Texas for the first time during the World Cup is naturally going to want to see a few sights between games, and visiting a gas station that&#8217;s nearly as big as a stadium should probably be near the top of that list.<\/p>\n<p>Fort Worth knows the overseas lure of\u00a0Buc-ee&#8217;s well, which is why for the duration of the World Cup at Dallas Stadium <a href=\"https:\/\/ridetrinitymetro.org\/thecup\/#cowtownexpress\" data-link=\"native\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">between June 15 and July 12<\/a>, the shuttle service will be whisking tourists to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps?cid=3842999278872320409&amp;g_mp=CiVnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLkdldFBsYWNlEAMYASAF&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=US&amp;source=embed\" data-link=\"native\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">Buc-ee&#8217;s near Texas Motor Speedway<\/a>. The Trinity Metro Cowtown Visitor Shuttles will take nervous visitors from Fort Worth\u2019s Central Station and downtown stops to Buc-ee&#8217;s, not to mention other spots that aren&#8217;t a gas station like the Tanger Outlets, Six Flags and the Fort Worth Zoo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFort Worth offers visitors an experience distinct from any other city in the region,\u201d\u00a0Mitch Whitten, President and CEO of Visit Fort Worth, said <a href=\"https:\/\/ridetrinitymetro.org\/trinity-metro-preparing-enhanced-service-for-world-soccer-tournament-2026\/\" data-link=\"native\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">in a statement<\/a>. \u201cFans can experience authentic Texas culture, hospitality and attractions while using Trinity Metro to move throughout the area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But let&#8217;s be honest, we know which will be the biggest draw. There are probably Europeans travelling to the States pretending to be interested in the World Cup, because they&#8217;re too embarrassed to tell friends they&#8217;re making the overseas trip to see a giant gas station. That&#8217;s what happens when you see too many\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/garrrish\/status\/2064604549789437995\" data-link=\"native\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">&#8220;The European mind can&#8217;t comprehend\u2026&#8221; memes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There is one catch, however. The shuttle will make these stops every day there is\u00a0not a football match, likely because no bus system on earth is big enough for both World Cup and Buc-ee&#8217;s commuters. And these destinations aren&#8217;t exactly right next to each other as well\u2014the Fort Worth Buc-ee&#8217;s is more than 30 miles away from Dallas Stadium. The shuttles will <a href=\"https:\/\/ridetrinitymetro.org\/thecup\/#cowtownexpress\" data-link=\"native\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">run every 30 minutes<\/a> on days without games from 10 a.m. to 9:10 p.m. Monday to Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 7:10 p.m. on Sundays, with all-day passes starting at $10.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>People don&#8217;t usually arrive via bus to\u00a0Buc-ee&#8217;s. So it&#8217;ll be interesting to see Europeans marvel at the tens of thousands of square feet of snacks, soon realizing there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chron.com\/culture\/article\/bucees-no-seats-21940942.php\" data-link=\"native\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">no seats in sight<\/a>, and they&#8217;ll have to eat that brisket sandwich back onboard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anyone visiting Texas for the first time during the World Cup is naturally going to want to see&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":331607,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[113906,87139,85765,2466,1704,116,118,117],"class_list":["post-331606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-alertable-bucees-chr","tag-chronbiz","tag-chronbrands","tag-chronculture","tag-chronstaff","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=331606"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331606\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/331607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=331606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=331606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=331606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
