Potential changes to Dallas Area Rapid Transit‘s Bus Route 500 won’t mean the end of a bus connection from the TRE commuter line on the south side of D/FW International Airport to terminals.
DART and airport officials say there are no plans to eliminate the DFW Shuttle, which connects the TRE’s CentrePort Station to the airport’s South Remote Terminal. From that parking lot, you can catch buses that take you directly to each of the airport’s terminals. The shuttle runs every 15 minutes Monday through Saturday.
According to DART spokesman Morgan Lyons, the shuttle is more popular than Route 500 which currently connects CentrePoint to Terminal A and the Orange Line‘s Belt Line Station on the north side of the airport. DART is changing Route 500 from an airport route once the Orange Line ties directly into Terminal A later this year. The Orange Line will be the area’s first light-rail line that connects directly to an airport terminal.
