Transportation info on how to get the the Hotel.

dart2 min

The Adam's Mark Hotel is across the street from the East Transfer Center. Here buses depart for many parts of the Dallas area. The hotel is also within a half mile of the West Transfer Center, other bus stops and DART HQ, map and schedule center. The hotel borders the Red and Blue Light Rail Lines, just between Pearl Station and St. Paul Station. These light trains run from around 3:45am to 12:30am to destinations in Richardson, Garland, or South Dallas, and connect to the Trinity Railway Express(TRE) at Union Station(also Greyhound Bus, AmTrack). The TRE has a different schedule, departing for Irving, D/FW Centrepoint, eventually terminating in Fort Worth.

If you need maps or information about using DART, call (214)979-1111, for a helpful live trip planner, or visit DART HQ on Akard and Pacific (just three blocks from the hotel). Or, my favorite, go to www.dart.org. Call (817) 215-8600 to speak the The TRE operators serving Fort Worth. The TRE can be found online at www.the-T.com.

Did you know? With a free permit, during certain hours you can bring your bicycle on the bus or train.

Dart Park and Ride Lots

Dart park and ride lots are designated No Overnight Parking, however, in practice we know those who have parked all night with no harrassment or trouble from the Transit Police. These lots are generally not tow-enforced. However, DART takes no responsibility for theft or vandalism of your parked vehicle. Leave the car at your own risk.
