Flying into Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and getting to downtown Fort Worth has never been easier than boarding Trinity Metro TEXRail. The 27-mile commuter rail line extends from DFW Airport’s Terminal B to downtown’s Fort Worth Central Station seven days a week. A one-way ticket is just $2.

After you ride TEXRail to downtown, simply hop aboard Molly the Trolley on Jones Street at Fort Worth Central Station curbside at bus bay S2. Look for the classic green trolley. It is a completely FREE service that circles downtown Fort Worth and stops at many hotels. It runs 10 a.m.-10 p.m. daily.

(FORT WORTH, TEXAS) Sept. 24, 2024 — Trinity Metro TEXRail is celebrating another milestone as the commuter rail line marks 3 million rides. The agency commemorated the occasion with a celebratory event Monday morning at Fort Worth Central Station.

The official 3 millionth rider, Lisa, was greeted on the platform at Fort Worth Central Station as she disembarked the train. President and CEO Richard Andreski congratulated her and asked out her riding experience. She touted Trinity Metro TEXRail’s convenience and said she’s glad the train is an option for her.

“I’ve ridden for over two years now, Lisa said. “Everybody should try it!”

Andreski added, “We’re rocking it! Three million riders and we’re going strong.”

“Trinity Metro TEXRail ridership has been phenomenal,” said Reed Lanham, vice president of rail. “We’re seeing continued growth with a 20% increase in ridership over this time last year.”

The commuter rail line has a solid base of commuters, airport travelers and day-trippers, and ridership is always high during festivals and special events. For example, during the four days of GrapeFest, the total ridership was 12,573, a 5.8% increase over the festival dates in 2023. Saturday alone had almost 4,000 rides.

About Trinity Metro TEXRail

Service began in January 2019, and the train celebrated 2 million rides in May 2023. The 27-mile route between Fort Worth and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport features nine stations and convenient service every day of the week. The commuter rail line is a popular choice for people traveling to and from the airport as well as locals who enjoy taking day trips to Fort Worth, North Richland Hills and Grapevine.

 

(FORT WORTH, TEXAS) Sept. 4, 2024 — Trinity Metro TEXRail will be hosting two public hearings – on board the train – on Tuesday, Sept. 17, to notify riders about upcoming service changes in October. Representatives from Trinity Metro’s planning department will be on train 244 between North Richland Hills/Smithfield Station and Grapevine/Main Street Station (eastbound 1:12-1:26 p.m.) and train 245 between Grapevine/Main Street Station and North Richland Hills/Smithfield Station (westbound 1:50-2:03 p.m.) to provide information and answer questions. A third public hearing will be 5-6 p.m. Sept. 17 in the community room at Fort Worth Central Station.

The schedule change will include several modifications, including increasing frequency to 30 minutes around midday. When the new schedule begins, TEXRail trains will operate every 30 minutes across the 27-mile corridor from 4:13 a.m. to 6:43 p.m. (departure time from Fort Worth T&P Station). Additional service continues through the night with the last eastbound train arriving at DFW Airport Terminal B Station at 11:36 p.m. Service from the airport will begin at 5:10 a.m. and will continue with 30-minute frequency until 7:40 p.m. with the last westbound train leaving at 11:40 p.m. and arriving at Fort Worth T&P Station at 12:35 a.m.

 

July 11, 2024 (TARRANT COUNTY, TX) — Starting July 15, Trinity Metro On-Demand will unveil service changes as part of Trinity Metro’s vision to increase access to public transportation in Tarrant County through its recently expanded contract with TransitTech company Via. 

Trinity Metro On-Demand, which allows riders to book affordable shared rides by app at a moment’s notice, will begin serving Mansfield and Alliance. The first two months of rides are free for riders in these areas. 

 What’s new?

• Changes to the former Alliance route

o    Trinity Metro On-Demand will replace the on-demand ride service in Alliance that was previously operated by Lyft. 

o    Alliance riders should download the Trinity Metro On-Demand app (available in the App Store and Google Play) to keep riding. 

o    Alliance riders will be picked up and dropped off at “virtual bus stops” a short walk away (just like in the other Trinity Metro On-Demand areas) versus their exact address. This model increases efficiency across the entire area. 

• New Mansfield route

o    Community members can now book low-cost on-demand rides to get around Mansfield. 

o    Key destinations in the Mansfield boundary include Historic Downtown Mansfield, Mansfield Town Center, TCC Southeast Campus, Mansfield High School, Legacy High School, Mansfield Senior Lifestyles, Elmer W. Oliver Nature Park, Walmart and Kroger.  

Trinity Metro On-Demand rides are free through Sept. 14. Beginning Sept. 15, fares will be $2 one way or $4 for a day pass that includes transfers between TEXRail, Trinity Metro bus and Trinity Metro On-Demand. Because it is a ridesharing program, Trinity Metro On-Demand passengers will be matched with other riders headed in the same direction into one vehicle to create efficient, sustainable shared trips.
