Question:

When is DART returning to its regular schedule?

Answer:
DART has been carefully monitoring ridership to ensure appropriate social distancing on buses and trains as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.

The DART Board of Directors will determine when a return to normal service on buses and trains takes place. The Board is currently considering proposals to restore normal service on some DART bus routes in October and will make decisions later this summer.

DART expects ridership to remain well below pre-COVID-19 levels for an extended period, and it is possible that some routes may continue with reduced service levels into 2021.

DART continues to run extra bus trips where we have seen higher ridership loads.
