DART Park Lane to Lovers Ln Dallas Area Rapid Transit Light Rail Train Ride -- Channel Jamesss Today
Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is a transit agency serving the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex of Texas. It operates buses, light rail, commuter rail, and high-occupancy vehicle lanes in Dallas and twelve of its suburbs. DART was created in 1983 to replace a municipal bus system and funded expansion of the region's transit network through a sales tax levied in member cities. DART's light rail system is the longest in the United States, at over 93 miles (149.7 km), and began operation in 1996. DART operates the Trinity Railway Express between Dallas and Fort Worth, through an interlocal agreement with Trinity Metro. The agency also operates the Dallas Streetcar and provides funding for the non-profit McKinney Avenue Streetcar.
The DART light rail system comprises 93 miles (149.7 km) between its four lines — the Red Line, the Blue Line, the Orange Line and the Green Line. According to NCTCOG transit statistics, DART's light rail system had a daily ridership of 109,511 average trips per weekday in October 2012. The system uses light rail trains manufactured by Kinki Sharyo, with all trains being converted to Super LRVs (SLRVs) which feature level boarding (especially convenient for strollers and wheelchairs) and higher passenger capacity.[17] All 163 of DART's light rail vehicles have been converted and are now SLRVs.[18]
Before the 1983 election, DART had a plan for 160 miles (257.5 km) of rail. After the election, the plan was pared down to 147 miles (236.6 km) when Duncanville, Grand Prairie and Mesquite, which would have had rail lines, opt to not join the agency. DART chose light rail transit as its primary mode of rail transportation in 1984. The plan was pared down again to 93 miles (149.7 km) before the 1988 bond vote. After the vote, the agency again pared the regional rail system to 84 miles (135.2 km); 66 miles (106.2 km) of light rail and 18 miles (29 km) of commuter rail. As of August 2014, DART boasts four lines, and the extension of the Orange line to DFW airport is complete.
The following lines are active:
Red Line (Opened in 1996, completed in its current state in 2002)
Blue Line (Opened in 1996, completed in its current state in 2016)
Green Line (Opened in 2009, completed in its current state in 2010)
Orange Line (Opened in 2012, completed in its current state in 2014)[19]
On December 18, 2000, DART opened the first public subway station in Texas. Cityplace station is served by the Red, Blue, and Orange Lines.[20]
Getting On And Inside A Megabus
Megabus provides cheap intercity bus service across the US and parts of Canada. If you buy your ticket a week or two weeks in advance, some fares to go up to 300 miles away are as low as 5 to 15 dollars. This video shows hobo Rishayan getting on a Megabus and what it looks like inside. The wifi works pretty good, but , alas, No You Tube...Bad! Bad! Bad!....for me anyway, as I was unable to work on my channel! facebook.com/rishayan
Megabus Experience : Dallas to Atlanta for $15!!!
Peter Vandever recently took the MegaBus from Dallas, TX to Atlanta, GA for only 15 dollars. This was his first Megabus experience.
Megabus, branded as megabus.com, is an intercity bus service of Coach USA/Coach Canada and DATTCO (a non Stagecoach company, under contract) providing discount travel services since 2006, operating throughout the eastern, southern, midwestern, and western United States and in the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Megabus is notable for using curbside bus stops instead of traditional stations, fares starting at $1, and in recent years, operating a point-to-point network of routes with buses making few stops en route to their destination.
Peter Vandever is a blogger, vlogger, author and just a great guy. He tries to post at least 3-4 videos a week about his life. You can find out more about what is up to at his websites that he manages.

This Atlanta Streetcar will be used for Atlanta Beltline Transit System
The vehicle used for the Atlanta Streetcar is the same one that will be used for the Atlanta BeltLine transit system. It is a Siemens S70 light rail vehicle (LRV). The cars, themselves, were built in Sacramento while most other major components (e.g., the propulsion system) were assembled at a plant about 30 miles north of Atlanta, in Alpharetta.
Light rail is defined in the United States (and elsewhere) as a mode of electrified (or in a few exceptional cases, diesel-powered) rail-based transit, usually urban in nature, which is distinguished by operation in routes of generally exclusive, though not necessarily grade-separated, rights-of-way. This is distinguished from 'heavy rail' systems, also known as rapid transit or 'metro' (e.g. subway and/or elevated), which are fully grade-separated from other traffic, and which are characterized by higher passenger capacities than light rail. Arguably, traditional streetcars (also known as trolleys in North America, or as trams outside of North America especially in Europe), which is rail-based transit that takes place in shared roadways with automobile traffic (i.e. with street running) and thus does not operate in exclusive rights-of-way, can be considered to be a sub-set of light rail, though the two modes of transit are often treated as distinct in the United States.
