State Fair: Special Green Line and Red Line service and bus service now available

 

 

Green Line trains to the Fair now leaving every 10 minutes from North Carrollton/Frankford Station for MLK, Jr. Station. These trains will not serve Victory, West End, Akard, St. Paul, Pearl, Deep Ellum, Baylor and Fair Park stations. Transfer to the Green Line circulator at Union Station to reach those stations or a shuttle bus at Union Station to reach Victory.

The special Green Line clockwise circulator begins operating soon and serves these stations: Union, West End, Akard, St. Paul, Pearl/Arts District, Baylor, and Deep Ellum, ending at Fair Park Station. The circulator does not stop at Convention Center or Cedars stations. The circulator operates continuously from 10:30 a.m. until approximately 9 p.m. when regular service will resume.

Red Line trains to the Fair are beginning to leave every 10 minutes from Parker Road Station to MLK, Jr. Station. These trains operate as express trains through downtown Dallas and will not board or deboard passengers at Pearl/Arts District, St. Paul, Akard, West End, Union, Convention Center or Cedars stations. Look for the trains with the destination sign SPECIAL on the train. These special Red Line trains do not serve Fair Park Station.

Special direct bus shuttle to the Fair will be operated from these stations: Victory (Green), CityLine/Bush (Red), Mockingbird (Red, Blue), Pearl/Arts District (Red, Blue, Green) and Trinity Mills (Green). Buses will depart these stations when full or at least every 10 minutes.

TRE riders will finish their trip to the Fair on buses at Victory Station. All TRE trains will be met by buses at Victory for a direct connection to the Fair.

Be sure to have your pass available for inspection or have your GoPass ticket activated and ready to display.
