TRANSIT FLY Review: If everything is "bigger in Texas", for transit options this often means that communities are sprawling and populations centers are farther apart. Historically these factors have made public transportation in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area difficult. In recent years however major strides have been made in providing transit to Dallas / Ft. Worth International Airport. The introduction of Trinity Railway Express (TRE) Commuter Rail and the creation of the CenterPort / DFW Airport Train Station is a major improvement for the airport. While the frequency of TRE trains can be limiting, with fares that range from only $1.50-$2.50 (one-way) and travel times of only 30-35 minutes, the value that TRE trains provide is excellent. TRE Trains service both Downtown Dallas and Downtown Fort Worth. |
