DART riders should expect loud announcements and test messages as the transit agency conducts platform message board testing at multiple stations over the next few weeks.
Testing will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the following schedule:
-
CentrePort/DFW Airport Station: October 28 – November 15
-
Downtown Irving/Heritage Crossing Station: October 29 – November 6
-
Medical Market Station: November 6 – November 17
During this period, trains will operate on their normal schedules, but passengers may hear test messages or alerts while using the platforms.
DART says these tests are essential to ensure the safety and reliability of its system, including trains, vehicles, signals, and crossings. Officials thanked riders for their patience and understanding during the testing process.
