Connect Between the Dallas Area and DFW’s Terminals with DART

Connect Between Fort Worth and DFW’s Terminals via TEXRail
Trinity Metro’s TEXRail provides a connection between DFW’s Terminal B and the Fort Worth area. Trains extend to and from downtown Fort Worth with stops in North Richland Hills and Grapevine, offering additional connections for travelers from the west.
Move Seamlessly Between Dallas and Fort Worth via the TRE
The Trinity Railway Express (TRE) connects both cities to the CentrePort/DFW Airport Station. From there, the TRE Link shuttle brings riders directly to the terminals. It’s a steady alternative during peak seasons for travelers who want to avoid parking or heavy holiday traffic.
Meet Away from Terminal Traffic
If you’re meeting arriving guests – or visiting the region yourself – consider coordinating your pickup at the rail station closest to your final stop.
Each rail line connects into neighborhoods and cities across North Texas, offering a quieter alternative to holiday terminal traffic. Travelers can step off at the nearest station and meet their ride there, away from the heaviest curbside crowds.
On your return trip, have your ride drop you at that same station. Skipping terminal congestion is often the easiest gift you can give family or friends during the holidays.
Plan Your Holiday Transit with Confidence
Rail service runs frequently, with trains arriving every 30 minutes during peak weekday hours and every 60 minutes on evenings and weekends. Learn more by visiting DART, Trinity Metro’s TEXRail and TRE pages. The GoPass app is the best tool for checking schedules, buying passes and planning transfers.
Move Through the Terminals Smoothly Once You Arrive
- Skylink (after security) connects each terminal seamlessly.
- Terminal Link shuttles (before security) help you reach your gate or pickup location.
Rail is one of the most dependable ways to move through holiday crowds, skip traffic delays, and make sure every part of your trip – from train to plane – runs on time.
