Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) announced it is increasing services and adding special weekend shuttles for the State Fair of Texas.
The “State Fair Flyer” is a special shuttle program that will run on Saturdays, Sundays and Oct. 12 during the duration of the Fair.
Bus shuttles will depart from Addison Transit Center, Glenn Heights Transit Center, Downtown Rowlett Station and Lake Ray Hubbard Transit Center and take passengers directly to Lot 8 at Fair Park.
The shuttles will depart hourly from the transit centers from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and begin departing from Lot 8 at 12 p.m., with the last shuttle departing at 8 p.m.
In a press release, DART said there will be additional staff at each of the transit centers to assist with connections.
