Dallas city leaders on Monday confronted Dallas Area Rapid Transit officials about ongoing complaints from riders about bus service.
Go Link vans were added for on-demand service within zones to fill in gaps in the new network.
“DART is looking into the future and trying to figure out how we're going to improve our system over time. We're starting from where we are today, which is building back ridership after the pandemic,” DART CEO Nadine Lee said. “I work late hours and stuff, like a lot of people out here, and that was a big problem before. But, it seems like it's better now. It's going pretty smoothly,” Cabrera said.The new plans called Mobility Plus call for more route adjustments, adding additional routes, more bus shelters and bus corridor improvements. Dedicated bus lanes and signal timing could be added to keep buses moving on busy streets.
The DART budget receives sales taxes collected in Dallas and 12 other member cities, along with fares and federal grants.City of Dallas staff has proposed using $8 million for bus shelters in underserved areas.“I would love to see DART shoulder the shelters and help us with the intersections and direct more of our dollars to city streets which you also consume,” Councilmember Gay Donnell Willis said.
