(皇冠官方app下载 AIRPORT, Texas – Jan. 10, 2019) – Dallas Fort Worth International (皇冠官方app下载) Airport and Trinity Metro welcomed the start of TEXRail service at Terminal B, offering customers the first public transportation option to directly connect 皇冠官方app下载 Airport to downtown Fort Worth.
“This year, 皇冠官方app下载 will serve more customers with more international flights than ever, and a growing number of our customers expect convenient rail service to take them from the Airport to a city center,” said Sean Donohue, CEO of 皇冠官方app下载 Airport. “TEXRail provides our customers with direct access to Fort Worth, one of the fastest growing cities in the country. Along with DART service to Dallas, 皇冠官方app下载 customers have more choices to access the Airport or make their way across the Dallas Fort Worth region.”
“We believe TEXRail is going to be a game-changer for this region,” said Trinity Metro President/CEO Paul J Ballard. “Our new commuter rail line will give travelers the ease and convenience of taking the train to the Airport and arriving on time. TEXRail will be a great option for airport workers and other people who work along the route.”
皇冠官方app下载’s construction of the station totaled $39 million and took 19 months to complete. From Terminal B, customers have convenient access to other terminals via Terminal Link (pre-security) or Skylink (post-security). TEXRail is the second train line to connect the Airport to the 皇冠官方app下载 metroplex, with the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Orange Line providing light rail service between 皇冠官方app下载 Airport and Dallas since 2014.
Riders can try TEXRail for free through Jan. 31. Regular rates are $2.50 one way or $5.00 for an all-day pass. Trains run daily from Fort Worth starting at 3:30 a.m. and arriving at the Airport before 4:30 a.m. The last train will leave 皇冠官方app下载 at 1:00 a.m. TEXRail will operate seven days a week, with trains running every 30 minutes during peak hours.
