How To Get From Dallas Fort Worth International Airport to Downtown Dallas

Option 1: DART Orange Line Train Option 2: Shuttle Bus Option 3: Taxi / Rideshare

Option 1: DART Orange Line Train

  • Travel time: 1 hour
  • Running every 30 minutes and departing from Terminal A, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Orange Line runs direct to downtown Dallas. Get off at West End or Akard Station. If you want to connect with Amtrak or TexRail (commuter rail) transfer at the above mentioned stations and backtrack with the Blue or Red Line to arrive at Dallas Union Station – the city’s intermodal hub.
  • Consider purchasing Go Pass, the  Dallas-Fort Worth’s integrated fare card to the city. 
  • Fare for DART is $3.00.

Option 2: Shuttle Bus

  • Dallas-Fort Worth Airport offers a number of shuttles and limos. Learn more here.

Option 3: Taxi / Rideshare

  • Travel time: 30 minutes
  • Undoubtedly, the most expensive option from our list but the most private. In addition to taxis, Uber and Lyft offer private rideshare services from the airport. If you arrive at rush hour expect to sit in traffic. Expect to pay about $45-60 for a ride.
