Use GoPass℠, Buy in Advance, Activate Tickets the Day You Go
DART passes are available for purchase via ticket vending machines; however, the most convenient way to purchase is through the GoPass app. If you haven’t already done so, download app to your smartphone from either the App Store or Google Play store. Register your mobile ticketing account and set up your payment information.
You can purchase your transit pass in advance, but don’t activate it until the day you use it.
Roll onto the Low-Floor Center Cars
The center car of every DART Rail vehicle has a low-floor section that offers level boarding with the rail platform – perfect for festival-goers with strollers, wagons, wheelchairs, walkers or other mobility devices. DART’s new buses also have low-floor sections and are equipped with ramps that deploy for level boarding from the curb.
