DART Dallas Area Rapid Transit
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 TX USA 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 Texas and Ft Worth Texas, 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]

The Dallas Pedestrian Network or Dallas Pedway is a system of grade-separated walkways covering thirty-six city blocks of downtown Dallas, Texas, United States. The system connects buildings, garages and parks through underground tunnels and above-ground skybridges. The network contains an underground city of shops, restaurants and offices during weekday business hours.
Usually known among locals as simply the tunnels, most people you find in these tunnels are various business people dressed in business casual working in high-rise buildings (insurance, telemarketers, etc) coming for lunch break.
The system is divided into 4 separate parts, due to closed sections. This video records 1 of 4 sections.

RV LIVING PRO TIP: DON'T LISTEN TO RUMORS WHILE TRAVELING
We hate to admit it but we listened to rumors about Dallas, TX and avoided the town last year. We almost missed it this year as well because we extended our stay in Hot Springs, Arkansas and were going to skip over Dallas again. Thank goodness we didn't! We had a blast exploring the town, learning it's history and tasting local beers. Lesson learned, don't listen to rumors while traveling!!
