(FORT WORTH, TEXAS) Oct. 18, 2024 — Beginning Sunday, Nov. 3, Trinity Metro TEXRail’s schedule will increase to 30 minutes during midday service, which is currently hourly. This service improvement will provide consistent half-hour frequency for the majority of service hours.
“We’ve studied ridership patterns and noticed a surge in passengers in the middle of the day,” Vice President of Rail Reed Lanham said. “With more customers traveling at the time, we chose to adapt the schedule to meet customer demand and provide greater convenience and to accommodate commuters.”
For passengers traveling from Fort Worth T&P Station to DFW Airport Terminal B Station, the first trip will be at 4:13 a.m., and the 30-minute frequency will continue through the 6:43 p.m. departure. The night trains will be on hourly service, with the last one leaving at 10:43 p.m.
Travelers heading west from the airport will enjoy 30-minute frequency beginning at 5:10 a.m. and continuing through 7:40 p.m. Hourly service follows for nighttime hours, with the last full-route train leaving DFW Airport Terminal B Station at 11:40 p.m. An additional train from the airport leaves at 12:30 a.m. and travels to Mercantile Center Station.
“The enhanced schedule makes it easier and more convenient for Trinity Metro TEXRail riders to travel,” said Lanham. “Customers won’t need to wonder when the next train is arriving because our new schedule will be consistent and easy to use.”
Trinity Metro TEXRail, which runs between Fort Worth and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, operates on the same schedule every day throughout the year. Its nine stations are located in Fort Worth, North Richland Hills and Grapevine.
