When you’re on the go – and you gotta go – it’s good to know the important how-to information for using the TEXRail bathroom. From the outside, a green button means the bathroom is available; red means it’s occupied. When you’re in the bathroom, the green light means the door is unlocked. If the light is red, the door is locked.
If you’re heading to the airport, think outside the box and leave your car at home. TEXRail is the best and most economical way to get to the airport, so ask someone to drop you off at the nearest station or take one of our bus routes that connects with a TEXRail station.
For commuters and day trippers, we offer parking at all stations except for Downtown ITC/Fort Worth Station and DFW Airport’s Terminal B. The maximum length of parking at the other seven stations is 18 hours to accommodate long shifts and overnight shifts. Anyone who leaves a car for longer than 18 hours risks having the vehicle towed.
Only service animals accompanying customers with disabilities or their trainers, and small pets in carry-on travel cases are allowed on board Trinity Metro trains, buses and paratransit vehicles. Read the full policy about service animals and pets if you have additional questions about your four-legged friends.
If you’re bringing any food or drink on the train, be sure all consumables are in sealed containers. We want everyone to have a clean and enjoyable train ride.

The TEXRail plan divides TEXRail into two segments. Segment 2 was completed first, with 27 miles of the route running from downtown Fort Worth to DFW Airport’s Terminal B. Segment 1 would run from the Fort Worth T&P Station to southwest Fort Worth. Completion of the extension is contingent upon capital funding.
Upon arrival at the DFW Airport Terminal B station, passengers make their way inside Terminal B, via entry B43, where American Airlines passengers can check their bags. American Airlines passengers, along with those without checked baggage, can then pass through security and ride Skylink to their departure terminal. All other passengers can use Terminal Link to travel to their departure terminal. Terminal Link buses can be accessed on the upper level of Terminal B in marked areas. Terminal A is a short walk from TEXRail’s Terminal B station on the lower level, which offers the same services for all passengers.
TEXRail’s route is entirely in Tarrant County, so the fare is only $2.50 for a single ride or $5 for day pass. The $5 option is good for all rail and bus services in Tarrant County. We encourage patrons to purchase tickets before boarding. Once onboard, you may purchase a ticket, but the cost will be $5 for a one-way ticket.
Through Jan. 31, 2019, customers can ride TEXRail for free.

The quiet car is the first car on the front of the train. Because of the train’s bidirectional design, the quiet car could be the last car on the train. Look for the quiet car decals to make sure you are in the correct location. The quiet car designation gives passengers the opportunity to sit in an area where they can read or work quietly – or just relax.
