Another wave of unbearable heat has Dallas Area Rapid Transit riders dashing indoors to cool off.as cooling stations, including the busy Arapaho Center Station in Richardson.
Fred McGregor is grateful the center’s doors have opened, allowing him a cool place that feels like “heaven” to wait for his bus ride to work. “That heat is painful,” said McGregor. “That’s punishment. If you want to punish somebody put them out there.”“It’s really intended for our riders, but right now with the heat the way things are going, we want to make sure everyone can get out of those temperatures,” said Gordon Shattles, DART’s assistant vice president of external relations.
A shortage of workers has prevented DART from opening additional cooling centers, he added saying the agency is looking for the right person who is both informed and compassionate.
